Yup - you read that right.
I have 5 2 year old bulls in with my dozen yearlings. Been that way for a month. The other day, a two year old "came in heat" and the yearlings were all over him. Chasing him all over the field. Fighting each other for the right to mount him. I figured maybe there was a heifer in heat somewhere and I'd give it a day or two to settle down. Day 2, day 3, same story. No one was eating. The heat was climbing and eventually I had to separate the 2 year olds before someone died of exhaustion. All is right with the world again.
