[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1217906, member: 18809"] I think just about every bull we have shown beyond a yearling has bred a cow or two during that time. Our Steel Force bull that we showed early spring last year bred several, and before a big show we tossed him out with the cows to get some exercise (he was getting soft) and he did get injured. He popped his jump muscle and had to be left at home. He was not lame, just had a huge bump on his back above his loin. We never showed him again. We have 8 head due to him in March (Inyeti's Margo is one), so he was busy when he injured himself! We will usually hand breed if we want to cover a cow, like we breed horses. Take the cow/Heifer out on a halter to his pasture and let him breed her, then take the cow/heifer back to her pen. But you have to be willing to sacrifice his show career if something happens.
