[QUOTE="Wisteria Farms, post: 526504, member: 6734"] Here's our problem...we don't have a large herd... we work with our girls a lot due to summer showing. We call them up to feed, throw halters on whoever needs washed, curried, etc. I'm worried about my own safety if I just let him run with the girls. I was going to do a fall calving season, putting him in with the girls in November... by that time we're done showing and they can all just go out to pasture and do their "thing". I've read that bulls will become quite protective of their harem so I was wanting to limit him being with them to 60 days (so they can calve together). I know he'd be happiest running with them but I'll be happiest knowing he's not in there when my kids are feeding the others. I also know no fence will hold him if he truly wants OUT but I was just curious as to (for those who do remove their bulls) how you contain them. We have an Angus farm across the road (temptation when the breeze blows the right way). Even though I've got a good bull I doubt the neighbor will be pleased with me to see him amidst his black girls. Thanks for all your input... he's not a nutcase by the way... I'm just trying to be as responsible as possible and avoid mistakes that can be avoided. [/QUOTE]
