[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 297303, member: 245"] Just had the vet out preg checking my cows. 6 open out of 22 head on a 90 day cycle. Realistically, 3 were tail enders who probably just sort of fell off the schedule this year and one was a first calver who raised a really huge calf, but two were real surprises. One was one of my best cows. Anyway, as I was talking to the vet, he was saying alot of guys around here are averaging close to 20% open this year. He said a couple of guys are closer to 40%. He thinks its just the year. Lots of grass, but maybe not good grass. I'm pretty meticulous with my mineral program so I'm a bit surprised to have so many not bred. I was talking to the neighbor. He sold out his cows this year and he said that alot of them came in open at the salebarn, but he just assumed it was a problem with his bull. Anybody else experiencing problems like that? [/QUOTE]
