[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 253662, member: 2308"] For 40 cows we would only use one bull, especially if he is a mature fellow. However, if you want to use 2 bulls that is not a bad thing either. Chances are you will find that most of the calves will come from the Hereford as he will likely be the boss. There is no way to make putting 2 bulls together easier. You could pen them together for a week or so away from the cows and they could work their differences out where there is less "incentive" for them to fight. They will fight, but, being that the one is a 5 year old and the other is a 2 year old they will likely not do too much fighting. Also if your Hereford is horned that will make a big difference too. The Hereford will almost certainly turn out to be the boss. He's bigger and more mature, and horns will add to his advantage. Usually a smaller or younger bull won't do too much more than test the limits. [/QUOTE]
