Determining the onset of estrus is often improved by the use of heat detection aids and time observing cattle. http://www.cattlenetwork.com/cattle-resources/healthy-heifer/estrous-synchronization/Heat-stress-can-reduce-pregnancy-rates-122865019.html The effects of heat stress on reproductive performance of beef cows has been discussed by many animal scientists in a variety of ways. http://www.cattlenetwork.com/cattle-resources/healthy-heifer/estrous-synchronization/Good-nutrition-vital-from-calving-to-breeding-118789349.html A cow herd's greatest nutrient requirements occur immediately after calving and continue through peak milk production.
