Proper feeding becomes an issue for her since mistakes, especially over feeding will be very apparent in the longer dry period. Cows rebred now will calve again mid to late October. Fall incentives usually make this an attractive time to calve cows, but if there are many cows in this situation, cow prices may be quite unattractive. Three to four weeks of good feed and good care and a veterinary examination for pregnancy, will provide a much clearer picture of which cows have the potential to stay profitable. Quota policies, government compensation, and insurance issues will probably all be much clearer a month from now as well, so this is not a time for hasty decisions.
