[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1190533, member: 21194"] I generally leave my bulls on the cows about nine months. I know a lot of experts recommend only leaving them for 90 days, but my calving season is earlier than many others, so if a cow doesn't calf within my three month window, there's a good chance she's still bred when I sell her, so she'll be worth more than if she was open. But I don't usually leave them on year-round because I don't want early calves. I fooled around this year and didn't pull them. I like my season to start on November 1, but this year I had 8 calves on the ground by then at one pasture. I usually work all my calves in mid February, but because of those early calves this year I'm considering working those early calves in another week or two. They'd be pretty big by February. [/QUOTE]
