[QUOTE="Midtenn, post: 1380293, member: 24781"] Checked 23 today and had 8 open. 5 cows all bred back fine but of 18 first calf heifers only 10 bred back. They all calved back in march or early April and were ai'd may 24th. Clean up bull stayed in from June until August 27th. I dont know whether to blame the heifers or the bull. My vet said it was about typical of what she's been seeing with everyone, thinks it may be the hot year we've had. Very little rain in April/may/June. Wet and HOT July and August. Weaned calves in September and the heifers are all in pretty good shape now. I loaded the open ones and moved them to the other (fall calving) herd. Bull goes in december 10th. May regret it but I'm giving them another chance. Your thoughts? Anybody else experiencing this? Oh and breed had nothing to do with it. Of the opens were 5 angus, 2 bram x, 1 char x.....equal ratio to the bred ones. [/QUOTE]
