[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 297409, member: 9"] Don't know about bull servicing of other breeds; however, I think Longhorn bulls continue to do their job for many years. Our 2 oldest are about 8 yrs old and haven't missed a lick. Cows, calves, heifers, will mount one another as part of "breeding practice", exerting their dominance position in the pecking order, and/or paying attention to a female in heat. Bull calves do this as a dominance thing. On a side bar, the act of any animal mounting and/or putting front feet on the back of another of same species is part of a dominance thing. If the perpetrator grabs the victim around the neck it is a dominance/submission event. Juveniles do this in play for practice in learning how to be "successful" adults...and, occurs by observing others in the group. As far as I know, none of our breeding age females are open going into winter. Fourteen months to 14 years of age. [/QUOTE]
