[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 35903"] I just got into raising cattle last year on my 50 acre farm. Small operation: just 12 cattle in total (1 bull, 3 steers, 3 cows, 3 heifers and 2 2004 calves). Here's my question (and it'll probably sound dumb, but please bear with me): I'm not farming full time (just evenings and weekends) so I'm not with the cattle all day. However, I just bought the bull and introduced him to the cows about June 1st and I have yet to see any breeding activity. Now, I do only have 3 cows for him to breed (the heifers are separated), so I guess its entirely possibly with only 3 cows to breed he's handled it already at night or during the day when I'm gone. He does stay with the herd and lately he's been paying more attention to the heifers in the next field (staying near the fence, vocalizing to them, etc), but I've yet to see him mount a cow. He came from a highly reputable breeder and is a very healthy 24 month old registered polled hereford bull. Should I have seen any activity or am I just paranoid. Thanks a ton, [/QUOTE]
