    Conception rates in this heat?

    we in South Dakota breed in this heat all the time; I think alot depends on if your cows have a place to cool off during the heat of the day; we have dams with deep water and the cows will go in those to cover even their backs and just stay in there to cool off; they do what they need to to be...

    Breeding first time Shorthorn heifer- Help

    you could use a red angus bull and then the resulting calf would be called a Durham Red. Just for a first calf, this would be an easy calving choice.

    Setting up recps and donor?

    I would presume you have someone lined up to do this for you? I have never worked with anyone that did not give you a  check-off list of what to do to what each day, marked with a.m. and p.m...... very, very simple that way and you know you are doing it exactly right.
