Breed for Early Colts Is Profitable Practice
Early colt production can be profitable for many farms with solid barns says A B Caine of Iowa State College. Bred mares in April yield foals by March enabling rapid pasture gains and freeing the mare for spring work. Some farmers breed in March for February foals to give foals an earlier start.
