[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 599230, member: 2308"] We have friends that do this with their cow herd. They run about 300 head of mature cows with Charolais bulls. They were running into a lot of problems with bulls fighting and getting hurt, so they decided to try this. Now they kick out 2 bulls for 2 weeks or so, and then pull them and kick out 2 other bulls. It has dramatically reduced the # of injured bulls they have each summer. I cannot speak to if it has helped tighten up their calving season though. It has also enabled them to have an idea of what each bull is throwing for calves. Now if they have a bunch of high BW calves, or some that didn't grow as well as they should have, they only have to look at 2 bulls, rather than wonder which of 8 or so it was. [/QUOTE]
