Weather and conception

[bse]

Gonna A I a big group around 3pm, temp is gonna be 60, hopefully will be done around 5. Now by 7 temp is supposed to drop 30 degrees, opinions will it mess with conception?
I'm gonna say and hope not, but never had this drastic of a change in 2 hrs.

I'd think the temp going down wouldn't hurt but I really don't know.

Heat or extra working or movement beyond 2 days after breeding for a period of several weeks is worse.

I've found that I see higher conception rates when the temperature is cold, 40 or below, and the animals are relaxed. I second what Ebenezer said completely, and have proof to back it up.

If they’ve already showed heat, you should be good.

If they hadn’t, I’d say it could pose a few problems for them coming in.

Give us a report on how it went. I am soooooo glad I didn't have to get one in to breed in the last 32 hours!!!
