[QUOTE="Joy in Texas, post: 434722, member: 4627"] The same thing happened to us also. We had alot of good crossbred and limo's that never gave us a problem.The second year of the drought caught up with them. Out of 125 head only 63 were expecting. I couldn't tell any diffence in the birth weight. Before winter we culled everything out except about 25 head and kept 1 bull. I believe a drought plays a big part in the performance of cattle. It was to hot and dry for a bull to breed . Or it messed up a cows cycle. I know of about 10 of cows had like a false pregnancy. One week they would swell up and bag is full. Few days later ,nothing. I loaded 2 up for the vet to check. Sure enough they were open. When I would see one do this ,we sold them. [/QUOTE]
