I read this article in Progressive Cattle recently and was glad to see that this is being discussed on a larger scale.

Now I know that many of you bust my chops for feeding grain every night to the ENTIRE herd, yes the entire herd, even though we have excellent pasture. There is a reason. The grain I have mixed up has YEAST cultures added to it, along with Biotin, and other vitamins. I also use Multimin 90 for any Selenium deficiencies that might occur.
I've been reading a LOT about proper Ph in a cow or heifer and how it affects fertility. So far my gals have been highly fertile, and I would like to keep it that way. I think that the yeast has made a big difference in more ways than one. I also think that getting those cultures into a cow on strictly grass probably won't happen. I could be wrong.
Anything for an added edge in fertility I will do.
