[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 362982, member: 2308"] We usually run our bulls by themselves. Do that more because we want certain cows bred to certain bulls than for any other reason. If you have to worry about the bulls when you go in a pasture then you should probably get rid of them. I don't think running 2 bulls together would lessen any interest they could have in you. Maybe for the first little while, when they are figuring out the pecking order, but after that if they wanted to cause you trouble having another bull in there wouldn't save you. Pros of running 2 (or more) bulls together at breeding, is that if one bull didn't do his job, the cows would still get bred. If you are running on a large pasture it would lessen the chance that a cow could be missed on her cycle. Con's would be that there is a higher likelihood of one or more being injured due to fighting, or if one pushes another off a cow while breeding. Sometimes they will get so occupied fighting that they don't breed the cow that is in heat. Also, you are never certain which bull bred which cow, unless using 2 distinctive breeds. [/QUOTE]
