A while back I bought a heifer and her bull calf at the sale. He's a good looker and she's a good mama. It seems like he will work out well as a replacement. I intended to start using him a year from now. Plans have changed, though.
Both of the other bulls are currently in with the cows and fall calves. Near as I can tell there are only about three of those that still need to settle. The problem is that the bigger of the two bulls appears to have a broken front leg. I saw him fall off a cow a bit back - it was either then or on the last round of ice and snow we had. He's getting around but no doubt he is not breeding. He's only about two years, so I am going to pen and fatten him for burger.
My new purchase will be a year in the fall. That is when I want to start servicing the next round. Will he be able? I don't know that I have ever "raised" a bull. The one with the broken leg I bought at about a year and he did just fine. Would you put the year old in with 20 cows? That was my plan.
The only reason I am leary of it is because I am watching him Oh, had the last of the spring calves today. Woo hoo!

After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
