[QUOTE="BRAFORDMAN, post: 788217, member: 14817"] The part i consider bad is the stunted bull threw my calving season off and that some of the cows bred a month before we palpated this year and will calve during the summer. I have no problem with summer calving, but if the summer turns out like it did this year then It wont be good for the calves. It was so hot that even my Brahman cow would not out eating during the day. we had temp up to 115 degrees. The bulls went out with cows in March . The first calves were mostly born in March. We had a few that my dad bought who started to calving in november of last year. I did see some of the cows cycle in June, which is a normal window(3 months) for them to cycle after calving. And I saw the bull breed a few. But many of those cows turned up open or short bred. (Had bull with cows up until a few weeks ago, when we palpated). The heat really affected the cows. And the last calves on the ground were born in July. And you can really tell the difference between size . The ones that turned up open will be ok and should breed back in January. The cows that calved, that are bred to calve in the summer, are the ones to consider to be badly timed. The positive is they are bred the bad side will be if summer turns out like it did this year.
