Your findings could certainly be true! Hard to say though from here in Idaho??
As far as our rut goes, it's pretty much the same as usual. It's possible for an early rut with the older more mature cows, it can happen the last week of Aug. to the first week in Sept. it's not the peak rut though. The peak rut or when the majority of cows come into heat is around the 17th to end of Sept. here, and then two more can follow.
But other than that, it all seems pretty normal!! elknut1
