[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 428843, member: 2308"] We run all our bulls together in the off season. We have had up to 8 bulls ranging in age from yearlings to 6 years old together. In the offseason they have NO cows with them, and are in a pasture where they are separated from any cows by a road and 2 fences. So far we have had no problems with the bulls in the offseason. For breeding season they each go in a separate pasture for the first cycle. Then for the second they will be with whatever other bulls are in the same location. If your bulls know each other and have an established pecking order there will be a LOT less problems, and usually won't end up with injured bulls. By introducing new bulls and just throwing them out with the other bulls (with cows) you should be expecting problems. They have a reason to fight. By introducing them together with no cows around they don't really fight. They will push and shove around some, but it is not the same as they would if they had cows to fight over. Personally I hate having bulls around. There are too many problems caused by them. But, since we have pasture that is 2 hours away, we are stuck using them. And keeping them. [/QUOTE]
