[QUOTE="Chocolate Cow, post: 1462939, member: 25265"] I'm lost.....I have a group of 22 Angus yearling heifers that were pasture exposed from May 27 - July 27. We brought them home Saturday and I preg checked them Sunday. 6 were open. :shock: I took the bull to the vet yesterday and he tested good. Veterinarian stained the sample and checked for deads. Nothing. Testicles were good with no problems. The bull settled 16. He's a 4 year old and is only used on my heifers. Nothing got into the pasture nor did he go anywhere. These heifers have good BCS and were vaccinated in March with Bovi-Shield FP5 VL5. I took them to grass April 20 so they could acclimate from their winter feed to green grass. In 2016, I put 40 heifers with this bull and one more for 30 days and had 100% conception. Yesterday evening, 3 of these 6 heifers were in standing heat. grrrr Only thing I can come up with is our summer was really hot & humid. I'm wondering if these opens are a result of embryo death from the heat. The pasture has 4 ponds and a well but no trees. They had salt, mineral, a protein tub, fly control. But I didn't sing to them :roll: Any ideas would sure be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
