[QUOTE="medicinewoman, post: 920731, member: 18249"] Karin’ If by that you mean they are all open at the same time in the same 82 days, you are correct. And does not 82 days X 100 cows = 8,200 days of lost production for the whole herd for the year? Forget about what they do in those 82 days they are open. They all could go play golf for all I care, as long as she is ready to breed on the 83 day after giving birth to deliver in 283 days to hit the target date. I was simply pointing out the lost production by leaving all your cows open for 82 days. I will leave it up to you to convert those 8,200 lost production day into dollars. What does it cost you per day to maintain a cow? Now times it by 8,200 and you will get your total $$$ loss. MW Edited to add: @ $500 per year / 365 = 1.39 per day X 8,200 days = $11,398 = dollar loss of production for the year [/QUOTE]
