We don't have any steers this year and I am wanting to put our cool room to good use. I have a fallborn heifer in the room this summer but am not sure whether I should put in one of the yearling heifers. The one I was planning on is already a month bred. I have heard that putting heifers in cool rooms messes with their heat cycles and could cause them to not breed. Would it affect her if she's already bred? Just wondering what others' experiences have been. Thanks.

Have had dozens of big heifers in coolers with no trouble getting or staying bred. Hair cycles can get messed up though.
