MANAGING YOUR NEW BULL

When bulls leave the farm where they were bred, it can be very stressful for them, as they are leaving the security of the mob they were
bred into and arrive at yards which are completely foreign to them. It is important to minimise the stress and help your new bull settle
into his new home. When he arrives, it would be a good idea to put him with a small group of quiet cows or steers. A reasonable paddock
and some hay, and he should soon settle.
When shifting or handling your bulls allow plenty of time to do the job, so they can be handled quietly and with patience.
At mating time check your bull regularly as accidents do happen, and when he is finished put him in a good paddock with adequate feed
which will also help reduce the problem of fighting.
Finally, if you have any concerns, or thoughts about your bull, we are only a phone call away.
