[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1550456, member: 27490"] This is interesting. I AI during my hay feeding season. Which begins about Thanksgiving. I was talking to Fire Sweeps Embryologist, Dale. Dale told me to feed my best hay first while the cows are in "Conception Mode". Then when you have them bred for at least two cycles, he said you can feed your worse hay. His words were "once the embryo is established, you can abuse them. They don't require a lot of nutrition to hold the pregnancy after it is established. Since you got calves on them and you creep feed, the calves will be far enough along at that time to continue growing. The cows will winter out on the worst hay and soon go to grass". I took that strategy and use it. [/QUOTE]
