[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1145999, member: 20580"] Every bull is going to react differently. Some are temperamental and won't like being alone while some will be just fine. Also are there other animals within sight if he is alone? Our bull typically is by himself from when we pull him in mid-August till about the 1st of the year when we put some of the 1st calf heifers and early calvers in with him to get some extra feed. He usually doesn't have any other animals around for a month or so till we bring cows back for weaning then he at least can see them from his lot but doesn't seem to bother him either way. Sold a yearling bull the other year that the buyer called a week later and said he was being ornery in a pen by himself, we told him try putting a heifer in with him for company and he settled right now. May have been he was used to being in a pen with the other sale bulls for so long he didn't know how to act when he was by himself. So use your best judgment, there really is no right or wrong answer to this question. [/QUOTE]
