[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1028443, member: 20580"] They are admittedly a little lean in these pictures and while they on on some plush grass in the pictures that is about 1 week after we turned them out on it. I'll try to get some better pictures once they put their weight back on. We just came off a rough drought year last summer and even worse we were in a rotation year on our main alfalfa hay field so their hay this winter and spring was not as good of quality as usual get as we had to feed CPR hay in the fall and early winter then feed some slightly better grass hay which in most years is stuff we'd feed last before turning out to summer pasture. Even with the rough conditions all but 4 of our cows calved from 2/13 to 3/22 which allowed us to be really aggressive with our AI breeding program this year. Our herd is usually about 20-25 head. This year we synchronized AI breeding 18 head with seeders for 2/20 calving next year and based off watching the herd closely 3 weeks after we serviced AI we think we had around a 80% success rate. We don't pamper them but we do feed them harder prior to calving. [/QUOTE]
