Hey guys I'm in Central Texas (Austin Area). I bought two lots that are both nine to eleven months old for a total of eight heifers and I was wondering if I put a bull on them in the middle of May would that be to early? I had originally planned on putting a bull on them or getting them AI'd in the middle of June but it seems like from what I've gathered so far June-August are bad months to have a cow calve or to try and get them to conceive. Would I be shooting myself in the foot by planning on breeding them a month ahead of time and just figure that I would feed them extra to make up for lost time?
