Our system is more closely aligned with your propsal rather than the traditional cow cycle. We have delayed mating too soon and average calving interval is out to 400 - 420 days. We find this boosts a cows fat and protein production yield over a lactation. In late lactation they are often returning similar kg of milk solids to cows more recently calved and doing it with less stress on their bodies!
The cows are in very healthy condition when dried off and do not seem to need a 60 day dry period. They can calve back in 5 or 6 weeks and not miss a beat in the next lactation. They generally get lead feed for 2 weeks before calving, depending on whether they will eat it as they are on pasture.
