Caring for your new Bull

When a bull leaves Kincardine Angus he is leaving the security of a mob and will arrive in a
strange environment. It is important that you have a quiet mate in the yards to help him settle.
Don’t put him into a mob of older bulls. He will enjoy some quality hay or baleage if there is
a shortage of grass.
Your bull will still do a lot of growing over the next year and he will need enough feed to
maintain his growth pattern.
Close attention over mating is advised to quickly detect any problems that may occur, i.e
lameness, infections and any abnormal servicing issues.
When the breeding season is finished, you could shout him a drench before putting him away
with enough feed in front of him. Adequate feed will help prevent fighting and help the bull
settle into the group.
Good stockmanship, commonsense and caring for your young bull, especially within the first
twelve months, will ensure that he will give good service and mature into a good sire.
We wish you all the best and thank you.
