[QUOTE="Ridgefarmer63, post: 1688262, member: 23951"] Not sure where you are located, and if this would be feasible for you, but in my area I have managed to borrow a bull for two months in the summer and then again in the winter. Different bulls. I have mostly black angus girls with a few british whites/angus crosses thrown in. I am just making beef and on a very small scale. My brood herd is ten animals. The first time you borrow a bull is the hardest, but once word gets out that you can be trusted with their animal, it gets easier. Of course sometimes, you have to take the bull at not the most perfect time. This year we brought him in June 18th which puts calves on the ground latish March, which in NH can be problematic if you're not set up for inclement weather calvin' But,.. beggars can't be choosers sometimes. Like me this year. I am finding the fall calves are easier, but sometimes the summer bull doesn't get em all, and that is why we have the Christmas clean up bull. We had a great Red Angus bull (Sonny) but I think the owner might move him along. [/QUOTE]
