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.
