Friday late afternoon we were headed to town. I noticed a bull in with the cows. Yesterday morning when I fed he was bawling at the cows and racing around checking them out. This morning when I fed he was no longer there. As I was finishing up I spotted him walking down the road. Either I had no cows in heat or he just didn't like Triticale hay. But he didn't stay around very long.

Do you grow the triticale? I use to grow it for grinding my own flour and for chicken grain. I mixed in the straw with the alfalfa hay for the cows, but the straw ended up as bedding. Good organics disc in the next spring.
Don't raise it. It is purchased. Some of it the cows lick the ground slicking it up. Others not so much. Varies from bale to bale. Some days they get a bale of Trit and half a bale of alfalfa. Other days a bale and a half of Trit.

Maybe the bull recently changed ownership and is working his way back to his former home.

Sounds like he was an illegal immigrant that decided to self deport. That makes sense because today is Cinco de Porto by presidential proclamation.
