[QUOTE="The Ruminant, post: 6774496, member: 487"] I don’t think anyone culls a cow for slipping by a single month. However, a cow that slips far enough to be outside the pattern isn’t, in my opinion, a ‘fantastic’ cow. To expand, if the bulls go in on 1st July for 9 weeks, then calving will start on 1st April, ending (in theory) around the 2nd June. This means that even the last cow to calve has 90 days to get over calving, start cycling and get in calf again. If she can’t manage to do this in that time then she’s gone. Why carry passengers and call them ‘fantastic’? [/QUOTE]
