“Had a really good preg test! Preg checked 373 cows and only had 17 cows open. Went from 10% open down to
4.5% on the main cow herd!”
373 cows were started on the Riomax tubs around the beginning of January 2017. Cows were preg checked in the fall and came in with
only 17 open. Historically this group had been running around 10% open. With the improved conception rates there were approximately
20 more cows bred compared to what would have been the normal expected average. Calves from these cows sold in the fall of 2017 for
around $1200 average. On 20 extra calves this is an additional $24,000 income!
