[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1550949, member: 27490"] I agree with James on the estrus behavior. It has been very challenging with the severe weather. I use visual heat detection and I see the influence of weather on their behavior. If a cow comes in during one of these winter deluges of rain, all you will see of estrus behavior is some clear discharge, a few attempts to jump other cows, some sniffing, chin resting, etc. The other cows just hunker down and want nothing do do with her. I have bred on some of these "suppressed" estrus cycles and some stick and some don't. James is correct. If it gets cold and the mud gets frozen, the air is dry and no precipitation, they display strong estrus behavior. I don't know what is causing the climate change but I sure don't like it. I hope it is just an extreme and not the new normal. [/QUOTE]
