[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1377880, member: 25884"] We are very careful to do castrations by the almanac/signs; and we only dub the roosters during the right sign.... Our calves don't go back with the cows for probably 2 years as we run them in age groups and have enough different places to keep them separate. The heifers are kept separate and bred in a group and calved in a separate group and don't usually see their mommas til after their 2nd calf. It works better for us to be able to watch them and feed in different groups. I keep all the first calf heifers at the pasture where I have my dairy/nurse cows when they are calving and can feed and keep closer watch on them. Have had trouble with a calf going back on a nurse cow after more than 6 months weaned once or twice...they get sold or put elsewhere until they are sold or bred. [/QUOTE]
