[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 677705, member: 7509"] I've tried the rent-a-bull and it seems like it is the luck of the draw on what type and grade of bull you get, even from a reputable source. All you can really say for sure is that it is a Hereford bull. I have ask why folks think they need TWO bulls - a different one for heifers than the rest of the herd. There are many bulls out there that will do a good job on both. You just need to find one. Better yet find a good breeder you trust and let him find one. As is often said, one bad cow gives you one bad calf. One bad bull gives you many bad calves. And if oyu are trying to build by retaining some heifers that one bad bull's influence will be around long after he is gone. I think you can also keep the right bull around without concrete walls for fences and with little extra work other than what it takes to feed him. jmho and experience. Jim [/QUOTE]
