[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 985251, member: 2308"] No intensive managing here! Our smallest pasture is 80 acres. If I am lucky I can separate them into single bull pastures so I know who is the sire of the calves. Failing that I try to run a black bull and a red bull or such together so it is easy to tell. And it is an impossible idea to try the intensive grazing when your pastures are all over the place. Would make things quite interesting around haying time! I think running bulls together in general is a risky business, sooner or later somebody is going to get hurt. I prefer not to do it, but sometimes you do what you have to do. Well, that is kinda what I was thinking about him. The biggest reason he's on the list is that he's a real ladies man.... If his girls take a break on him he has to go find some other ones. Not all the neighbours appreciate that!! But we do have a pasture or 2 where he could be far enough away from someone else's girls that he wouldn't be a problem....I can forgive him the footrot if he's really over it. OTOH, if he hurts himself or comes up lame again, then his cull value drops too.... [/QUOTE]
