[QUOTE="Adam Freeman, post: 1803345, member: 39732"] We have 20 cow/ calf pairs. All our cows are very good producers and raise great calves. They rang from three 2yo hefiers to mostly 4 and 5 yo. We normally calve in feb/ mar and then sell the following February. We only retain the top three hefiers each year and cull any cows that do not produce on time or loose a calf. We have 160 acres with a 7 acre 15 foot deep pond. Our pond is almost dry to give you an idea of our lack of moisture. It was overflowing in 2020. We are renting a small 50 acre pasture that normally has cool weather grasses that we run them on for about 60 days then pull everyone out and move them back to the big pasture. I am thinking to wean the calves early so they can stay in the small pasture and move the mommas back to the big pasture. The calves are 300 plus pounds already. We are planning to breed the cows first of june. We cant afford five pastures to rotate through and everything around us is rented out. Everything around here is dried up and harvest is looking rough for the wheat crop. [/QUOTE]
