[QUOTE="jnowack, post: 271602, member: 3954"] Being fat generally does not stop a cow from cycling. It will cause the egg to be unable to pass through the follopian tube and reach the uterus. I would guess that heat detection is your problem. It can be tricky especially in small groups. The young cows and heifers may not try to ride the old boss cows because they knock the crap out of them for getting too close the rest of the time. The other problem is heat checking at feeding time. The cows are more worried about eating than anything else. Try checking more times a day and hanging around for a while after they are done eating to see if anything is going on. [/QUOTE]
