Just thought I woulkd post my numbers to see where I sit with the rest of you as i have been done calving for 5 weeks and everything appears that it will live.

Exposed 20 heifers
1 aborted in January, she now resides in freezer :D
1 calved early on -34 day frozen calf culled.
Rest calved within 42 days

52 cows exposed to bulls
1 died hardware
1 died laying in sinkhole
4 opens sold
1 may calver sold as a bred
3 early calvers sold as breds in December

Rest all calved in 42 days and had live calves

So 71 exposed to bulls 4 sold as breds so 67 exposed to calve at home with 59 live calves


88% of cows exposed last summer had live calves this spring within 42 days of exposure.

I'm pretty happy with this, what is your benchmark comparasin?
