[QUOTE="True Grit Farms, post: 1552107, member: 24694"] Jeanne, 4.5 is ideal condition based on an adverage? A wet cow has a little less condition and a springing cow a little more. I don't understand what dystocia and a BCS of 4.5 has in common? [url=https://www.merckvetmanual.com/management-and-nutrition/management-of-reproduction-cattle/dystocia-management]https://www.merckvetmanual.com/manageme ... management[/url] Getting a thin cow to breed back is about as easy as it gets in the cow business. Just feed the cows good a few weeks before you plan to breed them and conception rates go up. Breeding back seems to be a bigger issue for those that have nicer cows. Our cows have a calf every 12 months or they are gone, I don't roll them to spring or fall, I sell them. A cows job is to produce a live calf every 12 months, and there's no EXCUSES if they don't.
