[QUOTE="LocustDaleCattleCompany, post: 1465097, member: 24074"] We have lower conception rates with our two Spring herds than our two Fall herds. Like 80-85% compared to 95-100%. We have tried everything in the world to improve conception with the Spring herds but we (vets and local guys around me) keep coming back to heat stress on the bulls. Pretty hot and humid for the boys in June and July. Same bulls used for Spring herds and Fall herds and plenty of redundancy (usually an extra bull put in with each herd). BSE performed 1 to 3 weeks on bulls every time before turn out. And breeding heifers has its own challenges with conception. [/QUOTE]
