CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 rate; slower stand up times for new-

borns; greater assist rate in first-calf heifers; bulls may have lowered fer- tility. “By the same token extremely fat

breeding animals may experience re- production and lactation problems. Bulls may experience reduced fertil- ity if they lose BCS too rapidly. This may happen with young bulls that are out on pasture for their first breeding season,” said Cole. In 2011 when feed supplies are

short and expensive, sorting the herd on BCS and feeding according to their true needs makes a lot of sense. It certainly isn’t economical to run cows that are 3’s and 4’s in the same pasture as 6’s and 7’s. “It may be more convenient for

you, but remember Goldilocks will be sorting her cows this year in order to better use her limited forage supplies maybe your should too,” said Cole.
