Reproduction Management

A few days at the start of the breeding season can determine not just this year’s calf weights but also the long-term trajectory of the entire herd.

Open cows and poor conception rates often trace back to a single source in the bull pasture. Without consistent testing, one carrier can disrupt an entire breeding season.

Strong breeding seasons start with strong postpartum cows. Winter calving offers the chance to get both right with attentive management.

Long before calving, subtle biological signals can influence the health, growth, and future productivity of a calf. Understanding and utilizing these signals could lead to the next revolution in reproductive management for cattle.

Veterinary oversight in the fall is key to preventing disease, feed inefficiency and reproductive setbacks.
