Cattle Bulls


If you want your bulls to produce at their best, make sure to keep them away from older and more experienced bulls during the mating season so that they can produce the things that are needed to be prepared and a quality diet is vital to the process. Keeping them close to older bulls can cause damage and will keep them from growing at a steady rate instead of maturing more quickly than normal. It is vital to keep an eye on the steadiness of the growth of a young bull.

The diet of a young bull is very important. Grain is a vital part of their diet, so using the right grains can be one of the most important parts of the breeding process.

They should be separated by pens with no chance of mingling with the heifers and it might even be a good idea to use an electric fence that gives off shocks if the bulls get to close to the pens that hold the heifers.
