Does anyone do this with this size herd? What kind of calving window should I expect? When would I put the bulls in, for how long and is two enough or three?
That depends on the window you desire, which would dictate how many bulls you need to use.What kind of calving window should I expect?

If one of your bulls can't cover 22 cows, in a 1 mile radius I think you may need a new bull.
