[QUOTE="Jessica06, post: 1329127, member: 5612"] I'll add that our grass is usually better later in the year when it's hotter and drier. The better nutrition really helps our fall calvers breed back quick. The grass is usually so wet and green here in the spring, the spring calvers have a hard time staying in good condition when there is water in the ditches. This year they are rolling, but only because it got pretty dry right before we started putting bulls out. Last year I think our breeding % was in the 70% range in the cows. And VERY WET. And we even fertilized several pastures, and of course had liquid and mineral out. This year we've seen several getting bred that are 35-45 days post calving. The Gulf Coast is pretty unforgiving, and you can only be so hard on your cows before you cull yourself out of business. [/QUOTE]
