There are many different methods of how producers separate their bulls from their cows. For those who don't have a big ranch, horses or dogs, it may be best to run the cows and bull through a handling facility where you can easily separate the bull into one pen while you run the cows through another. Of course this all depends on how well that facility is set up and the handling knowledge of the producer.

If you have some good herding dogs and a trailer, you can separate the bull from his cows that way, having the dogs herd the bull to the trailer and you hauling away the bull to his normal bull-pen area. Or, if you're on horse-back and have the dogs with you, you can also have the dogs to herd the bull back to his pen, with you helping guide the dogs to where you want the bull to go.

But if you have wild bulls to separate from the cows, then you'll probably need more help than some dogs. Get some cowboys to help get the bull separated away from his cows (and most likely get him loaded up in the trailer to get sold at the auction mart).

When do you separate cattle?

Whenever you need to separate them. Honestly, it's your choice when you want to separate them. But note that in terms of cow-calf herds, you need to separate calves from cows when the calves are around 6 months of age. It may be a good idea to separate bull calves and steer calves and their mommas from the cows that have heifer calves at their side a month or two prior to weaning. Heifers and steers can be together, but you need to separate bull calves from heifers and keep them separate during the weaning process. This minimizes the risk of these young bulls breeding an early-maturing heifer and getting her bred by accident. Cows should be separated from bulls (NOT vice-versa, as it's more dangerous to separate bulls from the cows) after 60 to 80 days have passed since the bull was put in with the cows. Separate cull cows from the main cowherd the day you are going to sell them or, if you want to fatten up these cull cows, a few weeks prior to selling them. Before winter sets in, separate thin cows from the fat or normally-conditioned cows and put them with your bred heifer herd.


How many cows can a bull impregnate in 8 hours?

It is important that you do not over work the bull, usually in a period of 8 hours about 3-5 is a good number for older bulls. For a better understanding, the ideal bull to cow ratio would be for yearling bulls 15-20 cows. 2 year old bulls 20-30 cows; and for 3 year old or older 30-40. This ratio is usually for pasture breeding, when the cows and bull are turned out for the summer months when the bull will then breed them as they cycle.


Feminine of bull?

How many times a day can a bull mate?

It all depends on how many cows a bull has to settle in one day and how much libido the bull has. It should be safe to say that a bull may mate with one or more cows at least 10 to 20 times a day. If a bull has a lot of cows to breed, there's no time for eating, but lots of time for courting.


How often can a bull breed?

As often as possible and as often as there are cows that are needing his services. That said, a bull can breed as many as 2 to 10 cows (or more) per day, depending on how many cows are in heat on that day.
