Tricky question.
If the bull is experienced, and all the heifers don't cycle at the same time, I would say the bull could do it. If, however, your going to control the breeding season (like 45 days for example), he may have problems. You didn't say what type of bull. A M. gray bull would have no problems with that, and give you calving ease to boot. ;-)
When I had my group of two year old bulls semen tested a few months ago, the vet said he would not hesitate to put any of them "with 50 cows". ;-) :cboy:
