[QUOTE="simme, post: 1825040, member: 40418"] Keep in mind the "bull" may not be the one you suspect. If you pull your herd bull after a short breeding season, some of those bull calves may be getting an early start and breed early cycling heifers before weaning. Depending on breed, weaning age and when you separate bull calves from heifers, it can happen occasionally. Hopefully commercial herds have castrated bull calves well prior to that. But for those that miss a bull calf or keep bull calves to sell as breeders or those that never get around to cutting the bulls, a single shot of Lut a couple weeks after separation is pretty good and cheap insurance.
