I've had a conversation with a couple of different people regarding keeping two and threes in the herd. I realize people sort them off to feed differently since they're young and growing, but it's not possible here since I need to keep them out of the trees during the last part of pregnancy, and only have one pasture to put them all in. Really, I don't believe I'd sort them off even if I could. Anyhow, the conversation always defaults to an open young cow not getting enough nutrition, BUT these cattle always look good.
What are your observations? It seems like the fleshy young cattle are open at the same rate as the lighter ones. I just don't buy into the "they didn't get enough to eat" excuse for young opens all of the time. The funny thing is lately I've had the highest open rate in my 5/6's?! Explain that one!
