[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 985217, member: 1715"] - Yep. - My big paddocks are 8 to 11 acres so I have been applying MIB - - Management Intensive Breeding. I am now considering a move to mob breeding. ;-) You can buy a lot of poly wire for the price of a bull. If I had to go back to multiple bulls per paddock I would consider pulling all but one after 21 days and before they get crippled up. - One advantage of a fall calving herd here is you can pull the cows out of small er pastures and then apply MIB while bale grazing. - I think running multiple bulls together in a MIB operation is asking for problems. They can spend more time focused on each other than they do on the cows. Then they end up injured from fighting or stressed or with foot rot from stress or pushed through the fence. Herf bulls may be different, and 160 acre paddocks probably are different, but I don't have either. - You may want to give that Simi bull 3 weeks of exercise before you burger him. [/QUOTE]
