1st Cycle

Faster horses

We always figured it was when the bulls were turned out. Angus cattle can have a short gestation period and calves can come 10 days early. Many ranchers have a lot of calves on the ground before their due date. I don't know about other breeds, I just know Angus. We were always glad to see those little vigorous black calves. We didn't want big, slow
calves that can cause extra work, so we had a lot of early calves.

My cows where cycling I'm going to guess 6 to 8 weeks after calveing. Thats with no bull in with them.
My hfr calves will start cycling I will guess at 7 to 8 months.
I'm just going from memory here and my memory isn't all that great right now with all the crap I'm dealing with.
The hfrs we used to implant if we weren't keeping them for replacements. Cows are red Angus with Hereford bull.
