[QUOTE="Isomade, post: 1108441, member: 13135"] I agree with the others. It depends on age and the bull himself. I had a 6 year old bull on 40 cows last year and 30 calved in 28 days. All 40 in 45 days. Two years ago I turned a 13 month old Angus bull out on 30cows a month before the Mature Char bulls were to be turned out. The 13 month old sired 26 calves on that group in 30 days. The reason I turned him out early was to gain experience because I usually experience the opposite where when they are young virgins it takes them 2-3 weeks to figure out what they are doing. This year I actually had 95% in 60 days and we wound up with 100% in 90 days on a 1-30 ratio with bulls being 6yo, 2.5yo, 18months, and 16months. But the 6yo bull is with out a doubt the most prolific breeder I have ever seen. I would have no problem turning him out on 75 head and expecting them to be bred in 90days. Unfortunately he is not mine. [/QUOTE]
