Cows calve 9 months after conception. They calve out dairy cows year round to keep milk production consistent throughout the year.
It’s normal to have a dairy cow or 2 in a beef herd to act as a nurse cow for orphan calves. That’s what this was. I have 2 dairy cows in my herd too.
We had a calf the other day because the cow got bred late. We also have another in the herd that is a first calves that hasn’t calved yet. We will keep those 2 cows away from the bull until next June / July.
