[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1011902, member: 9096"] Well, I thought I'd update this thread... The cow in I started it for has since died of a stroke (of all things) this spring, but who knows the root causes of that (endometritis is a possibility). She had a bull calf in August of last year that I sold 2 weeks ago, weaned at 6 month, 700 lbs at 7 1/2 months, and the two had to eat hay all winter, I imagine he'd have been bigger if he had grass to eat all that time. Meanwhile, her full sister who I mentioned earlier has just had her 16th calf, and bred back on the first cycle 3 times in a row now.. I won't be breeding her again though as she has some bad arthritis and teeth now. The daughter of the cow I started this thread for has her 2nd calf, her first was a steer that weaned at 670 lbs, and her daughter this year is very impressive, at 7 weeks she's somewhere in the 250 lb range and built really well. As for breedback last year, I had 16 in the first cycle, 4 in the second, and a lousy cow that makes small calves, well, she was in the 3rd of 4th cycle... sometime in may she ought to calf. [/QUOTE]
