Been reading this forum for about a week now and have gotten hooked. I have a question regarding the new bull calf I just purchased. He is a 6 month old registered Black Angus. I'm going to use him as my herd sire eventually. My question is will he do OK on pasture if there is enough grass and adequate nutrition? Should I keep him separate from the rest of the herd. I have a small operation with 16 Hereford cows and a Hereford cross bull that he will be replacing. I usually can only make it out on the week ends so I would not be able to feed every day. Any advise on the best way to raise him without having to be there every day would be much appreciated. FYI, I can't afford the cost of an 18 month old bull so that is why I bought this one. Thanks
