[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1472947, member: 25884"] Yes, Jeanne, I agree with what you are saying. Since we rent so many pastures, and most will only handle 6-20 head, it makes it easier to keep like age groups together and separate. I have a group of 10 first calf fall calving heifers and 6 virgin heifers together now all getting bred. They will be in 2 separate places for fall calving next year, because I keep the first calf heifers where they can be checked on daily or more often. These coming 2nd calf are being bred back to the easy calving bull, and I will watch them but not with the close scrutiny of the first calvers. After their 2nd calf, then I feel that their bodies are mature enough to handle our other bulls that are more for cows. But I think we are on the same page in general. We just have more summer pastures and can split them up better. The fall/winter places are more restricted now with losing the one place that we ran quite a few head. [/QUOTE]
