[QUOTE="Cows 'n grass, post: 4572944, member: 1711"] If the aim is just to build cow numbers in the short term then running a few cows around is fine, there's no need to breed from them. As I've been building numbers I've always carried some cows over and this will be the first year I haven't. Your more dairy cows have an amazing ability to pick up yield again on spring grass, I had several this year that probably would have dropped to 6 or 7 litres on OAD over winter then picked back up to 20 odd by May. Some will just give up completely over winter though. [/QUOTE]
