[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1536063, member: 968"] Many people worry about using a "mature" bull on a heifer. I think mature cows do more potential damage to a standing heifer than any bull. A cow will mount and stay on forever. A bull gets up, does his job & gets off. The only reason to be concerned with size of heifer is projected calving size - big enough. Yes, some bulls are harder than others. But, he is also harder on cows. Might not want to keep a bull around like that. [/QUOTE]
