Summary
The largest number of conceptions was observed in February, the wettest month, with the least in September. Even though rainfall declines sharply between February and April, the average number of conceptions did not decline at the same rate. This may be due to sustained pasture post-rainfall. Average conceptions decline sharply from June and rise again in December. Results also suggested that breeders that conceive in January and February have the shortest duration between subsequent calving.
