As a person who has done both, IT simply depends..IF you keep a bull up,and trust me this is NOT as easy as simply putting him in another pasture. you would be as well off or better off to go with artificial insemination these days. before folks start in on me let me explain why. first and for most, penning ANY animal not only changes their life but yours.your tied down to feeding and supplying that animals needs every day. before you put your bull up,think about if you simply have the lifestyle that allows this,most folks these days do not. Second, keeping one penned means you have to have the knowledge and the facilities to handle one. trust me even a gentle bull can be a real danger if he smells a cow in heat. next can your bull handle all your cows when you want? lots of guys who do this wind up with three or four bulls. fourth ,keeping your bull up doesnt mean in any way your cows wont get bred. in fact it often increases the chances that they will get bred by a neighbors bull giving you crosses you dont want. Of course if all these things fit into your operation ,its not all bad. for me personally its far and away easier to simply carry a bander,tagger ,and whatever stuff i want with me. catch that calf when hes a day old or two old and do it right there and then.IF you cant do this,or have time to do this, you probably dont have time to keep a bull up properly. but thats my opinion.
