[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 454813, member: 5601"] Re: Maybe, under absolute ideal conditions. But IMO it is a foolish practice and could very well cost you a heifer or two. It is true that it only takes a bull a few seconds to breed, but that does not include all the times he attempts to mount her while she is coming into full heat and will allows him to breed her. And during all these hours of foreplay he may attempt to mount her from either side or the front, or may have interference from other animals causing him to lose his footing. Then there is the problem of him loosing his footing on hills and/or in rainy weather. Not to mention an attempted running mount while he is chasing her around all day. And I’m not even going to go into what a large (80 lbs +) calf can do to a first time heifer! IMO you are just asking for trouble![img]http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa294/SirLoin_01/Icons/goodluck.gif[/img] SL [/QUOTE]
