How I got my cows back into the breeding cycle quicker

I had to rehouse the cows and calves because of the wet weather, which was far from ideal as calved cows needed to be out for lots of reasons.

I was conscious of cows losing body condition and while I had very good silage, I decided to give them over a kilo of meal per day. I did not want them getting thin before the breeding season started.
