Before the bull goes back in I have always taken the calves away from their mothers and moved to twice a day suckling for a few weeks to aid bulling. Due to an awkward piece of concreting we are doing this week (in the entrance to the shed) it will be much more difficult to bring them in twice a day.
I am thinking that I might have to leave the calves out and just turn the bull in. How much effect do the assembled brains think this will affect conception? I would like toare maintain a tight pattern if possible. It is possible to still bring them in but it goes through sheds and storage places, it would make a 30 minute job into a 1hr job.
The calves are approximately 8 weeks old.
Cheers
