Looking after your bull on arrival

When a bull leaves Kaharau he is leaving the security of a mob and will arrive in a strange environment
at the purchaser’s property. On arrival make sure he has a steer or cow as a companion, straight away,
possibly with a feed of hay and put them into a good grass paddock.
Young bulls are still growing fast and need enough feed to maintain their growth pattern and be able to settle
the cows quickly and efficiently.
Respect your bulls and handle them quietly, walk them rather than rushing them. Treat them with care and in
a gentle manner and they will do likewise to you. Kaharau bulls are used to being handled by stockmen on
quads, horses or on foot, also with dogs. They treat electric fences with respect.
Monitor your bull regularly while out with the cows, as accidents can happen.
When the season is finished, your bulls should be drenched and put away with enough feed in front of them.
Adequate feed will help stop fighting and help bulls to settle into the bull group.
We wish you all the best.
