[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1798654, member: 24027"] I retain heifers every year and they do have their own pasture; they aren't introduced back into the main herd until after they've had their first calf. Does it make financial sense? Sometimes, sometimes not. But it makes perfect sense in my operation. I know exactly what I'm getting and only select what I deem are the top heifers from proven cows, so I know their history & potential. Plus, I don't have to worry about biosecurity. Can you loan or lease the bull? Get him out of the picture for now so you'll eventually have a defined calving season - and no oops babies. Hot wire and/or just a small pen is merely a suggestion.
