[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 356347, member: 13"] Yes, a cow mounting would break them, too. One group used to pull the bulls after a 60-day breeding season, then turn them back out 30 days later with a chinball marker on. When a bull bred a cow, he left a strip of paint on her. They'd know then the cow would be a late calver and sell her as bred. That way they didn't have a year's worth of upkeep in her only to find she didn't calve in the calving season they wanted. If you're not familiar with chinball markers, it's a halter with a small section for paint under the bull's chin. [/QUOTE]
