[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 799593, member: 968"] A cow will not be ready to conceive for "about 30-45 days" after calving. I'm "assuming" she calved around 12-3. So, she should be ready to be bred anytime after mid January. But, if bred 1-20, you are looking at Nov 1st (at the earliest). So, not sure what you meant about "will not have a calf in the middle of winter". If she conceives within 30 days of exposure to the bull, you are looking at Nov calving. Guess, that's what you are shooting for instead of December? You can "up" a cow 30 days - IF, it's a cow and not a heifer, and IF, she is in good body condition score (BCS), and IF her system is geared for fertility. Not all cows cycle that soon, and even if they cycle, not all cows conceive on their first heat. Not saying a heifer can't/won't conceive quickly, but they aren't as likely to come back into heat as quickly as a cow. [/QUOTE]
