[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 572767, member: 6198"] Personallly we like to run 1 bull with X so many cows. But some years we have to put more than one bull in a pasture. If we do it we do it one of two ways 1. three bulls so there is an odd number, as well as bulls not the same age. Same age creates major hassels in the pecking order 2. a good difference in ages. Right now we have a 5yr old and a three year old. Other times it's been a 3-6 year old with a yearling. This usually works pretty good Last year because of weather we kept all the bulls together and rotated the pasture. It worked well, no injuries. I think we had threee in there. The year before we put one bull in, then 4 weeks later pulled him and added the clean up bull who had not seen any girls yet. We did this cause the clean up bull was a fighter and we did not want any injuries. The clean up bull however is no more. We have a few really big cow calf farms up here. The usually run several bulls with the herd. Some in upwards of 6 per herd. So it can be done. Other wise for 1100 cows they would have to have alot of little pastures. [/QUOTE]
