[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15278"] i can see that my post is a little misleading... these are not heifers, but cows that the bull is run with for a set period each year, then pulled off... they calve, and then the bull is put back on them a couple of months later... thus they all calve and rebreed very close together. these cows are very efficent and well proven, they have dropped calves like clockwork. my concern is whether an 18-19mo old bull could handle them. gene > Most of the time a bull can handle > up to 25 heifers/cows, but to get > it done in a months time will > depend on the bull.
