breeding season

blonde10

how difficult is it to keep your calving and breeding season to 12 weeks ,i know on lot of farm ours included this dosnt happen,getting cows back in calf can be difficult,could this be down to minerals they all calf on there own so difficult calving isn't an issue,is it possible to actualy gain a few weeks on cows as in get them calving when you want them and keep them there,were new to suckling so issuppose were still learning,people on here with years of experience how are ye doin it,or is it possible,is a calf per cow per year the main objective..
