Ryan RathmanGUEST
And there's, yeah, I mean, there's probably a little bit of debate to that, but I agree with that.

Ryan RathmanGUEST
There's probably some signaling mechanisms in regards to just caloric intake, energetic feedback back to the brain that then maybe influences the endocrine system that's hormonally getting that cow prepped and in position to reestablish cyclicity so she can hopefully get bred, that in absence of it or in a negative energy balance probably are a little different, right? It may be more meaningful maybe saying like sheep than cattle.

Ryan RathmanGUEST
I would say in cattle, it's probably a little more just her status, her current condition status, maybe even more so than like, hey, today she was in a negative energy balance, right? And so To me, I definitely agree.

Ryan RathmanGUEST
I'd rather have a cow going up and expect more reproductive success than going down.

Ryan RathmanGUEST
The challenge in a production system is a lot of times we're going this way, and you look at a dairy cow, right? That's her, and that's why they suffer so much from a reproductive standpoint.
