    Condition score? Plenty good grass? Are they constantly repeating or is it that you are seeing no activity at all?. Have you scanned any of them or fertility tested the bulls? If seeing no activity and the bulls are in a while they may well be in calf.

    Heard of a situation like this and the cows were in negative energy. Not getting enough energy through meal and grass. What are you feeding them are they showing heats?

    Don't they show signs like turning there heads constantly against the body and "licking there lips" when in negative energy? Funky farmer on YouTube has a great video on one.

    Milkers or sucklers? What was in the bolus? Do you have a copper/molybdenum or sulphur problem?

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    We are the same. Suckler cows coming on heat again. This year has been the worst compared to last year. We had two repeats last year with one of them not getting in calf. The same cow is repeating maybe time to sell her or to the factory.
