Breeding season has started!

[jhm47]

Last Saturday, I bred 48 heifers and cows. Friday, I bred 30 heifers, and yesterday, I helped breed 80+ heifers. I guess breeding season has begun for the year. Will be lining up some of the bigger herds this coming week. One is around 400 head, and the other is 600+. Luckily I will have help on these. We use a commercial breeding barn on the bigger herds, and can breed 60 - 80 head an hour. It's sooooo much easier with the breeding barn, the cattle are calmer, and this really helps to increase our conception rate.
