Now is the Time 1 (Continued from Page AlO) any other animal When cows are turned out daily it provides an opportunity for the owner to detect heat periods. This is very im portant in maintaining a good cycle. Cows that are confined in stalls all the time are difficult to breed at the proper time. Weather should not prevent outside exercise, but may shorten the length of time outside in severe storms. While cows are outside, they should be closely observed for the first 10 to 15 minutes for standing heat When this is done, breeding efficiency will usually be improved.
