I have now had trouble with 5 of my 6 bulls this year. I am a little nervous about what calving and preg checking will be like.
How many cows per bull? How many acres and what kind of terrain are your pastures? And were all the bulls together with the cows or in seperate pastures? And if it's none of my beeswax that's fine.
All of my bulls were running in seperate pastures by themselves with 25 to 30 head per bull. Pastures are all flat prairie with some poplar bush in each pasture. The one I found today is the first one with pink eye. One had foot rot, one had a shoulder injury, one has a swelled hock and the fifth one was bought to replace the one with the shoulder injury and I found him with a laceration on his business stick 4 days ago. Luckily the shoulder injury has healed up, so I put them out together for the last couple weeks of breeding.
