[QUOTE="NEFarmwife, post: 1504036, member: 26897"] I’ve been told if you’re going to move them, do it within two days. Otherwise yes, you’re waiting. If you’re moving them from pen to pasture, their feeding regimine can also cause stress as well. It’s suggested the most crucial time for a cow to settle and be stress free is atleast two weeks but we try for 30 days. We just finished our AI of purebreds and insemintation of our donor. We have 6 recips ready as well. This bunch will stay home and out to graze a pasture adjoining our pens. Everything else has been AI’d for atleast a month or better, that won’t go to pasture until we get this next AI set finished. Have 120 head we purchased recently that should show heat next few days. They’ll stay until mid June. For what it’s worth, I think our conception rates have a lot to do with the timing in which we move them to pasture. We sit at roughly 80-86% on AI for last 4 years. A guy we AI for, we AI in his pasture after they’ve been there a couple weeks. He calves much later than us. There is no way we could do that in our own operation but if you could get them to grass and then AI (if u need them moved sooner than later), I’d follow his approach. Depends on number of head.
