[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1190537, member: 1682"] Bulls are in for 45-50 days for each spring and fall season, and in a secluded paddock for the remainder of the year. Keeps calving season tight so I am not worrying about some calf born out in the middle of nowhere in mid-summer or winter. Buyers like the uniform crop in a big bunch and pay a fair buck to own them, much more than if groups of two and three. Dad used to run a bull 365 days, 20 years ago, and the paycheck showed the results, not to mention the intensive workload. People don't believe me when I say that by tightening the season, we doubled our income on the same number of cows over a few years, 1994-1997, not to mention the drop in expenses involved with babying calves born at bad times of the year, and the enviable death loss. Much easier to manage time and workload (ie vaccinations) with tight calving seasons. [/QUOTE]
