[QUOTE="mdmdogs3, post: 369821, member: 2745"] we were just talking about this today we pulled the bulls out because we didn't want any winter babies and now we are going to put them back in so that we have a short calving season then the cows that have for whatever reason not gotten bred during that short time (if they have a reason!) will get a free 6 month ride I know that is hard on the pocketbook but dang gotta start somewhere! and yes it is hard to try to change what a 69 year old is doing when he knows so much more than I ever will... but I know that the way we are doing things now isn't working he really doesn't know if we have a cow that hasn't had a calf for a year or two (just got the computer program completely filled out with every cow having a number and every calf starting with last falls calfs having a matching mama) with 8 chicken houses too there just aren't enough hours in the day to do everything if your aren't taking some shortcuts like a record keeping system and a short calving season when you know that you need to be closely watching the mama's [/QUOTE]
