When bulls come to "visit"

[wynedot55]

in short bulls know when wemen come into heat.an some bulls will go bonkers just like T-BONE did.so if i was you id not go around the bull when your in heat.

Yes, some bulls will tell when you're menstrating. And it's best to stay away from them when you are. Have DH do the chores then.

Your pen will be fine for your herd and the bull. Just keep them fed well, and nothing bad will happen. Bulls rarely bother calves. The only time he might bother them is for dominance over a food supply, and the calves will quickly learn that he's the boss.

If your young bull calf rides a cow, and she lets him, she's likely in heat. Have you ever considered artificial insemination? With two cows, it would likely be cheaper than the feed and extra bother of borrowing a bull. Also, a bull used for AI would usually be gentically superior to a bull you might borrow. There should be people in your area who are trained in AI, and would be happy to help you out. This would eliminate the worry of inbreeding.

But if DH is gone...that's why I have you on my phone, thewife!

I asked Hubby if he's going bow or rifle, he hasn't decided yet. If he goes rifle, we will be unreachable on top of a moutain some where that week!

Kitty, even if it's not calving, stuff always comes up! I dropped Hubby off up in the hills, so he could hunt his way home. When I got home, I found our bull with wire wrapped all around his feet! Luckily Hubbys cell had a signal where he was, I don't mess with bulls!

I don't mess with bulls!

I don't either. If DH decides to get one he deals with it or I'll get the gun out and take care of the bull!

That's why they usually are for the heifers on pasture.
