Helpful Hints for care of Herd Bulls

Having herd bulls adapt to the environment they will be in is adjust to a different diet. When a bull is turned out, he isn’t
very important to the success of a breeding program. Whenever thinking much about eating, so any advantage that you can give
possible, the bulls should be fed the same type of forage they him will be beneficial to younger bulls.
will eat in the breeding pasture for a minimum of two weeks
before turn out. Their rumen operates with little bugs to break Another trick for having a virgin bull ready is what we call
down the diet and different forages each have their own little “Jump-starting.” If you have a cow or a heifer around that is
bugs. About two weeks is the time required for the rumen to cycling, put the bull with her. If he seems disinterested, put
another bull in with the cow for him to observe. This should
trigger his brain. When the bull appears interested, let him in
and remove the other bull. Make sure a bigger bull doesn’t start
whipping on him, or that could defeat what you are trying to
accomplish. It is rare that this procedure is necessary, but it is
good insurance and, once the bull gets a taste of what his job
is, he will be ready for those heifers.

When breeding season is finished, a reconditioning program
for yearling bulls is good as they change their teeth at 18 to 24
months of age.
