Maybe you should.
Cattle are basically employees on any dairy or beef cattle operation.
Each cow is assigned the task of generating income for the enterprise. Employees who cannot or do not pull their weight should be advised to seek employment elsewhere. A key requirement in a cow s job description, which influences her productivity and profitability to the operation, is to maintain an appropriate calving interval. Historically this has been a 12-12 month interval. Regardless of what you consider the optimum calving interval, an extended calving interval has a negative effect on the animal s lifetime productivity and profitability.
