[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1428800, member: 20580"] Rule of thumb most people go by for yearlings is 1 female per month of age so ideally 15 and no more than 20 is what we go by as depending on age and condition a yearling should be able to cover 20. Plus if you do any AI you may still run him with 20 or more as cleanup but he won't necessarily service them all either if a fair amount of your AI group settled to the AI service. I sure wouldn't run a 15 month old bull out with 25+ cows although I'm sure there are some that do without issue but it doesn't do the bull any favors while he's still growing and developing to give him such a heavy work load like that.
