Bulls on Parade

Every fall we separate our bulls from the cows and reunite them in the spring.  This allows us to control the timing of when we start the calving season.  The bulls spend some time in their bachelor pad mainly beefing up (pun intended) and fighting with each other all day.

We use a gestation table to determine the first day we'd like to see calves arrive and then put the bulls with the cows accordingly.  Since it was a soppy May we had to pull our bulls to a remote pasture with the mechanical front wheel drive (MFWD) engaged on our tractor to help us get through the muddy roads.
