[QUOTE="kjonesel, post: 844153, member: 16842"] I bought all the cidrs last fall and was ready to begin the program and before I got it started the cows began cycling and within two weeks I had them bred. But the problem was our hot dry summer and I believe that the cows were either riding during the night or not at all and I was unable to detect heat. Also I was told that if a cow is over conditioned (fat) she won't be as aggressive during heat as they just aren't physically fit. Heat detection is the most difficult part of the AI program and that is why I have the cows that I am planning to breed where I can observe them during the day. I do understand that all operations are different and that is not always possible. I am planning on using the cidrs in about 5 weeks if the weather isn't to hot as I have 7 that I would like to calve together. It would make weaning and marketing their calves easier. In our area pens of 4 or 5 feeders bring the top price at the sale barn. [/QUOTE]
