[QUOTE="Big Cheese, post: 1219014, member: 23385"] We run our bulls year round and one of them is with 50 momma cows. He is a young bull and it looks like so far he is getting the work done but we just got him in May so we will know for sure next year how he does. I think you cows are fine and i don't see a reason in culling any of them. Maybe see how # 2 and #3 do on their next calf and unless they just raise humongous calves at weaning I might would cull them if they go 13 months again but you really don't have too. I might would look at culling the bull however. 7 years is pretty old for a bull in my opinion but he still shouldn't have any problems. I would let him breed some of those that just had a calf so you don't over work your new bull right when you get him and replace him around May with a 2 year old virgin bull. 45 cows to one bull shouldn't be a problem if you run him year round with them. Like i said we run ours with 50 momma's he seems to be doing fine. If we start getting to high over 50 that's when I feel like we may start having a problem. If your bull starts getting thin and poor that means he is being overworked and that's when I would look at adding two bulls to the herd otherwise I wouldn't. Your operation looks to be doing just fine to me. [/QUOTE]
