[QUOTE="LauraleesFarm, post: 1152086, member: 14261"] We were in the process of moving to our current property. At the time, my Angus bull decided to take on the neighbor's red Brahman. Twice, he tore through the fence, whipped the neighbor's bull, and we had to take him home and repair fence. The second time, we put him in the corral to wait until our move. So our herd bull had to live in jail for about 6 weeks before we moved, during the height of breeding time. While he was in jail, one of the smaller cows was in a standing heat. I observed a 5 month old bullcalf trying his best and showing plenty of potential for settling her. And she was patiently standing downhill for him to go for it. We moved, and I ended up selling the bull. That cow calved this year and the dates coincide with her having been bred by the calf. He was Angus sired but had some ear. Its hard to tell when they are all black but the calf has a little bit of ear! Bought a 535 pound weaned heifer at the salebarn, shoulda luted her, but didnt'. She calved 9 months later, a charolais calf, no assistance needed. Where there is a will there is a way. [/QUOTE]
