[QUOTE="1848, post: 211205, member: 1303"] Minimum age bulls should be 2 year olds which are simular in size and I would use 30 per bull as a good figure. This should keep your bulls in decent shape and get everything settled easily while still keeping the number managable and not at the upper end limit. Especially, if the bulls need to spend some valuable breeding time trying to get to know one another in the process, and end up ignoring the ladies. ;-) (either all hornless, or all horned may help prevent some injuries) Make sure the bulls are semen tested good, prior too placing them with the herd, and that they are current on all their vacs (especially lepto) Remember, min age of two will help with them not needing to maintain their own growth as they will have 80% of it done. This will keep them from stressing as much. Plus you will have animals the size needed to get the job done on your mature animals and be able to easily travel all over the size land you are putting them on. [/QUOTE]
