[QUOTE="Linda, post: 28377, member: 50"] I think much of the answer lies in the climate, the breed of bull, and the terrain/size of pasture. In a relatively small pasture (by western standards) we expect our 14 month old Murray Grey bulls to cover 35 cows. And they do the job. The further a bull has to travel to water and feed, the fewer cows he can be expected to cover. And, some breeds mature later than others. If my yearling bull could only be expected to cover 12 cows, I'd send him down the road in a hurry! [/QUOTE]
