[QUOTE="BRAFORDMAN, post: 840884, member: 14817"] I never said they had poor conception rates, I said some may take longer to come into heat. As Jeanne stated feeding extra can improve conception rates. It can also decrease the time between calving and breeding back. I want my brahman as well as my commercial cows to have a smaller window for calving. So i need the best conception rates i can get. The "brahman people" are breeding for better fertility in our cattle. My heifers are between 14-17 months and some have already been cycling. But i choose not to breed them yet because i want more size on them, and I want them to calve at a certain time. I am breeding for improved fertility as well. Vets have told me and i have heard it from other brahman breeders that females sired by bulls with larger testicles are earlier maturing than those sired by bulls with smaller testicles. The brahman bull i am going to use has a large testicle circumference. Getting better conception rates and improved fertility is accomplished buy selecting for it and also better nutrition. [/QUOTE]
