[QUOTE="bandit80, post: 572668, member: 7956"] I personally don't like it, but am doing it, and you can only do it if you don't care to know the sire of the calf. But, as you said, a lot of people/ranches do it. It is a necessity in some instances. I am running a few commercial cows with my father-in-laws herd, and we have 2 bulls covering the cows. Brother has run 2 bulls with one of his groups of cows and hasn't had a problem with his bulls fighting. To me, it woudld be important for the bulls to have the pecking order figured out before breeding season. That way they know their place, and aren't fighting while they should be breeding. Also helps limit the risk of injury while fighting, and creating an emergency bull replacement situation. My brother runs his bulls together all year, so they know the pecking order. [/QUOTE]
