Humm that is interesting. I have had two commercial sheep breeders make the same comments about wheat. It is enough that I talked to my hay guy and I would have bought some wheat hay this spring but here in California it all got rained on so he didn't have any. This next year hopefully he will have some and I will order a block and feed that during the breeding season and see if it makes a difference. Anything to get them to cycle early. I have found that it seems easier to get them to cycle in May than it does in June and July. Lets face it, when its 110 no one wants to make babies lol. In the past couple week we have had a couple of drops in the temperature where it has gone to the low 80's and right on target a couple of the last hold outs that have refused to come in even with repeated CIDRS both natural cover and LAI have marked. I guess these girls just don't like the heat.
