[QUOTE="preston39, post: 155327, member: 1487"] Devin, Even though the bulls are young you must spread them out a few days to keep the benefit of top semen both in amount and vigor for settling. Those two bulls can handle 25 if you spread them out over a 12-14 day period. You can extend the bull by allowing him to service each one only 1 -2 times. To do that you must have a good control of their environment as I am sure you know. Within a 24 hour period allow a bull 1 service to the first one and 2 services to the 2nd one. If you see a major discharge of the semen put her back up and let him service her again. When we do that control we put them in the long shute going up to the head catcher. We see no difference in the settling % when we apply service controlled breeding. However, wouldn't suggest you piggyback another 25 right away. That 2 week staggered time will mean very little 5 months later in weaning size. [/QUOTE]
