[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 526462, member: 9"] Unless you have a particular reason for removing a bull from "his" harem, the bull will be most contented, calm, and manageable left with his girls. Once they're bred, he can't do them any harm. If, however, you feel you must put a bull in a pen by himself (remember cattle are "herd" animals), then the most secure "bull pen" would be a 6 foot high welded pipe fence. A barb wire fence, hot wires, etc., will NOT keep any bull contained if he decides to travel. At Running Arrow, we manage 3 herd sires. Each is put with his females that year and stays with them until any given female is removed to our "maternity pen" in anticipation of calving. With 3 sires (always separated by either a vacant pasture or alleyway), we do not have any incidents. [/QUOTE]
