N.E. MT
I think the shot to sync them will put more pressure on your bulls and not help up your bred percentage. IE. 30 need bred on one day vs.10.

MGA isn’t an option if you’re not feeding them everyday. We feed alfalfa/silage and some hailed wheat straw. Just a balanced grower ration.

We leave the same bulls In the 45days, but every heifer is seeded on day one via AI

There’s no reason the bulls you have shouldn’t be able to cover your heifers well in a 45 day window. Only thing I can figure is maybe bulls are too fat to breed? Just being lazy? Heat? Or fighting too much with one another to breed? Maybe having an alpha bull would help keep peace.
