[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15430"] I would never run just one bull with a group of females. I learned the hard way and missed part of a calf crop. A good bull or the cost of two bulls to run with a herd of cattle, figured over a 6-10 year period of time is a cheap investment. And it is real cheap if something causes one to become sterile during the year. > I understand that the usual advice > is to run a bull with no more than > 40 heifers/cows but that advice > usually goes hand in hand with > advice to have a short controlled > breeding period. How many > heifers/cows could a bull service > if left to breed all year? [email=hudds@cctc.net]hudds@cctc.net[/email] [/QUOTE]
