[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1454945, member: 6291"] Pure bloods can go 24 months but just going to F1s will knock it back to 18 months easy. The only reason the bull is in for 6 months is so I don't have to put him in his own pasture. Most cows are bred early and he is just chillin the last half. It also allows for me to take cows from spring to fall or vise-versa and never skip a beat. I don't understand why people pull bulls after their calving window. If she is late regularly you will know by her calf, but at least you have a calf to sell with her. You pull the bull and you either have to palpate or wait for no calf. Either way you got nothing to sell. Only thing that comes to mind is extreme weather. [/QUOTE]
