We took the bull away from the girls yesterday, and put him in a pen by our house. I think this is the first time he's ever been alone and is constantly pacing and worrying himself. I don't have any good options for companion animals at this time.
Short of moving him somewhere else, is there...
I took a 25 month old Black baldie to the sale this morning (she will sell tonight) that didn't get pregnant.
I am guessing between 1000 and 1100 lbs.

I have a 4 year old angus cow that has always been the thinnest in my small herd. When she was young she had some warts, and when I inquired with the Vet, he said they would go away with time, and to not do anything about them. They are persistant.

I have borrowed my friends Angus bull. I put him with my girls on August 18th and plan on having him until November 15th when he will need him back.
My question is one 2nd calf cows calved very late (for my season) September 7th. How quickly will she start to cycle back through? I would like...
The bull is my brothers. He has a herd of white galloways. Holsingerhomeplacefarms.com
