During late summer and with the dry weather, I was able to bring down some of the conditioning on my cows. Now I am not so sure. Yesterday, I spent a long evening in my herd. I concluded that whatever condition they lost has returned. All of them except a couple have excess condition.
It has been raining for about 10 days and the cooler weather has the grass growing rapidly. I have two heifers that I will breed in December/January. They are in a small lot of maybe an acre at the most. They are not getting anything except Vitafirm mineral. Those two heifers have really put on weight. If you walk the lot they are in, you would swear they have to be starving to death.
What to he$$ is going on. I have had them separated all summer because I did not want the big cows riding them when that are in estrus. I am about to give up on the idea that I can control their condition.
