In the last ten years what are the three biggest management changes that have been adopted by alot of people in your area-these are what I'd say are ours.
Bale Grazing
We all scoffed at the first few guys that did it but it's gotten more and more popular every year. There's guys with several hundred cows not putting a hundred hours a winter on their tractors.
Later Calving
Less people are running more cows and ranchers are getting older. I used to do alot of my custom A'I ing in May now it's all moved to midsummer for the most part.
Calving Ease over Growth
I didn't think this was so much the case till the vets were telling me about it-says they hardly work at all compared to ten years ago. Maybe I should of said improved calving ease as there are cattle in all breeds will calve good and still grow.
I guess in my own situation timed A'I has changed the arm service business-you can schedule around other things. It used to be fun to pack your saddle and head to new country for a couple weeks to do the more traditional A'I projects.
Just interested in whats going on in your neck of the woods that is different-thopse three have changed things in our area.
