FERTILITY COWS - What is that??
We have checked our cows for many things, but this has been the acid test for fertility - the ability to calve on First Heat for 4 or more consecutive years. That means dry years, hot years, wet years... We expect our cows to calve in their 60 day calving season, but I also wanted to know which cows are more fertile and never miss conception on their 1st heat with the bull. We never sell heifers from these cows, and their access is only through their sons. Fertility - Isn't that why you buy a bull?
