That's very impressive Gcreek

. We had 5/75 open, with a 55 day breeding season (had cows in with them so my bull numbers worked, but did lengthen breeding season). The vet called 19 head at 3 months, 1 head at 2 months, and the remaining 50 head at 4 months along. I've had good luck with my later calvers catching back up the next year.
These heifers have had the least amount of care I've ever given to heifer calves, and wintered mostly with their mothers once they were weaned on hay and pasture. They were caked about 1 pound/day for about a month to keep them located away from the bull's fenceline, but that was the only extra feed they received. This summer has been the best grass year in the past decade, with cool temperatures and plenty of rain... they've really lived in luxury this summer

.
The five opens weighed 925# last week and brought .83. I'm anxious to see how the cows bred-up

. I'm thinking I could do the same exact thing next year, and get a completely different result... :lol: . This is the best we've ever done, so I'm going to enjoy it while I can!
