[QUOTE="Dave, post: 920217, member: 498"] If she is counting the period between calving start and pulling the bulls it is more than 60 days. I turn in the bulls on April 15 (tax day). I pull them 60 days later but not as exact on that date maybe 70 days depending on work load etc. But with April 15 turn out the first calf should be born January 24. With a June 15 pull out the last calf should be March 24. Well January 24 (first calf) to June 15 (bull pull out) is 142 days. Counting the 81 days between the first calf being born and when the bulls get turned out should not be any part of a discussion of a 60 day calving window. This year my first calf was actually born on time Jan 24. The last calf born March 31. 47 cows with 2 bulls. And 0 opens at preg check last fall. The year before there were two opens. One old cow and one first calver that had a tough pull. [/QUOTE]
