[QUOTE="Jdunn55, post: 9172063, member: 81760"] If you don't want to sell any cows the simplest way is to shave month/months off each year. From the sounds of it you want everything dry in December and start calving say 10th January? Don't serve anything between January 1st and March 31st and automatically you won't have any calves between October and December which means over Christmas no calves to feed so will reduce your work load quite quickly Then every year from there shave another 1-3 months depending on what your comfortable with, either by culling or milking them round Calve all heifers in during when you want your block to be and from now ONLY serve to dairy semen when you want your block to be (ie if you want to be block calving January-march you want all your heifer replacements born in January and ideally February but certainly no later than march) don't have heifers being born in August because they'll be calving in at the wrong age again or still Ayr [/QUOTE]
