[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1544400, member: 968"] Not really. Just wondering because some breeds are known to have very little milk - like Club type breeds/mixtures. Our modern cattle are a long way removed from wild bovine. I think CB's estimate might be under-exaggerated. If you have NO input into your cattle, just harvest calves to sell whenever you want cash, then obviously you have no real concern (and don't need to) as to whether your cow is calving every 12 months. You are not looking for maximum performance or even moderate performance. I could never and will never have cattle if that was the only way I could operate. It is an individual choice. If anyone leaves a sucking calf on a cow up to her calving time, taking the STRONG risk that the newborn will not survive, you would be totally wasting money. Katpau - you are much more diplomatic than me!!! [/QUOTE]
