Too much thread drift

huh?? Is there some rule that everyone has to stay "on topic" or suffer for it?

lot a rules,, and only certain posters need apply :cowboy:

 

[Ryder]

This is one of the best threads I've seen. Nobody is hollering about somebody hijacking the thread. (As if that ever mattered anyway.)

 

[Txwalt]

The thread is going great then Ryder goes and Hi-jacks it.

Super bowl?...getting to be just way to much glitter and hype.

It is basically just an excuse for beer to go on sale these days... :dunce:

 

[BrownCow]

Estimalted population of the US is 308,770,029

Each persons share now almost $43,000. Thats every man, women and child. Subtract children, disabled and elderly and I'm sure that # goes way up.

This is humorous...even if it isn't accurate.

Does anybody have proof a bear does it in the woods?

Well since you asked, we did see a grizzly bear do his business on the shoulder of the road in Yellowstone Park, well out of the woods. He had spent the prior three days eating an elk - a grown one, not a calf.

This heat is causing some cattle not to cycle. Should have started AI'ing earlier.

I don't think they stop cycling because of heat. The standing events might be shorter and there may be more silent heats but I would bet they are still coming around.

Palpated them, nothing going on. Estrous Alert hasn't been touched. Studies have shown conception rate and heat cycles drop during extreme heat. Bought a flush a few years back, ended up with one embryo. Vet attributed the poor performance to the high heat and humidity.

Yes conception rates drop and heat activity is less but they still cycle.

 

[BrownCow]

I wouldn't expect them to stop cycling completely in the heat. I would agree that they might become harder to "read" in the heat and humidity.

[Ryder]

Cycling or not, if he is using AI and can't catch them then he can't breed them.

 

[6M Ranch]

Never had this problem before. We raise Angus. If they're cycling, they're extremely quiet about it. The rest bred back with no problems, these last two aren't showing any signs. Wait till after fair and try again.

There is a slim chance that htye are cystic. My solution to noncycling cows has alwasy been a shot of GnRH followed 7 days later with a shot of Lute.
