[QUOTE="spounders, post: 1664860, member: 41499"] So I got an Angus bull calf (not sure of age but he was just starting to follow females, probably around 800-900lbs) about a year ago. Put him on our 4 Angus cows (ages varying from two 2yo heifers to ~7yo cows). I’m currently in college and I just inherited the group about three years ago when my grandparents sold out, so I just got around to putting a bull out there to try to get them to earn their keep a little. Looking at taking him in for a BSE, kicking myself for not doing it sooner. From what I can tell, I haven’t noticed any cows coming back into heat but I also am only able to put eyes on them about twice every two weeks & my dad isn’t a cow guy so he isn’t a reliable witness 😂 they’re all pretty fat from having the pasture to themselves and no work, so I can’t tell just by looking if they’ve filled out. however, we’ve only had one calf hit the ground (about a month ago). My hope is that being a baby (and shorter sized) he just took a few cycles to get to all of them. What are the odds that they’re just spread out? Anyone ever had something similar? [/QUOTE]
