I am a newbie when it comes to the day to day operations of a cow/calf cattle farm.
The cattle operation I am taking over is/was my dad's. Dad always left his bull in the pasture with the cows on a year round basis. The cows are just now starting to calf. Anyway, I have bought a good young bull that I've been told will be ready to service cows in about 5 months. Can I turn this young bull out with the cows and the bull which is already in the field, or should he be kept seperate from the cows until he is old enough? Thanks.
