[QUOTE="regolith, post: 929723, member: 9267"] If you are managing your heifers the same way your neighbours manage their heifers and they consider this normal... then that's what you can expect. Most would say 75% identifiably bred six months after calving and five months with a bull is an opportunity for improvement. However, I wouldn't be checking a proportion of the herd and then presuming the others are in calf at the same rate, especially with only thirty of them. Why not have checked them all, write down the results for each individual heifer and then you know for sure? Did you buy all thirty confirmed bred? 10% is a lot of pregnancies to lose if so. Did the vet have any comments on the situation? [/QUOTE]
