[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 296716, member: 4353"] When a bull is really overworked, and I mean really overworked he sometimes show little interest in the cows and they ride him, however that will only seldom happen in the most extreme cases. This wouldn't help you much, but I thought it interesting: one of my friends sold a mature hereford bull and after about two weeks he get a phonecall from the buyer saying that the bull is no good. He is not even interested in the cows all he does is lie in the shade by the pond. He does'nt ven go grazing with the cows and that he was sure the bull would die of starvation and all the cows will end up open. They agreed to replace the bull and fetched him after he had been with the cows for 30 days. The new bull went out grazing with the cows and sniffing them all the time and even tried to mount a few, but they wouldn't stand. come calving season all of the 35 cows the first bull was with calved within 28 days. He was just managing his resources it seems. [/QUOTE]
