The best thing to do is to change bulls every three breeding seasons (over a 2 year-period) to avoid inbreeding (i.e., the bull breeding with his daughters). A heifer, from birth, takes around 15 months to reach sexual maturity before she is ready to be bred. Between that time, you can breed your cows once (before the bull's heifers are born), then a second time (when the bull's daughters are around 2 months of age), and finally a third time to the heifer's dams that they have since been weaned off of a few months ago (heifers should be around 10 months of age by the third breeding season) before selling him and purchasing another bull to breed that bull's daughters. You will have to do the math and lay out the generations to see when and how your breeding program will work.

Which is correct a angus or an angus?
"An Angus" is correct because Angus has a vowel in front. Thus it is proper grammar to insert "an" in front, not "a." If there was a consonant in front, like the "b" in Brangus or the "s" in Simangus, then we would only need to have "a" in front in a sentence.
What is a heifer bull?
Heifers have smaller pelvic areas than mature cows do, so they need to be bred to a bull that has, genetically, low birth weights. Heifers are also best bred to yearling bulls(primarily 12 to 18 months of age), which are smaller than the bigger mature bulls and won't increase the chances of crippling the heifers when trying to mount them. Young and/or small bulls tend to have the genetics for siring smaller calves, and heifers have the body size that tend to develop small calves, however, in either case this does not always occur: Yearling bulls are primarily unproven bulls; small bulls may sire large calves; Breed of the yearling bull plays a part in low birthweight genetics; condition, feed and environment play a role in lowbirthweight rates in heifers and cows. Young bulls are not the best because 99% of the time they are unproven sires. In other words, they are virgin bulls, or have never mated with a cow or heifer and produced offspring. They are selected by the rancher because they are expected to produce low birthweight calves out of the heifers, only because the Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) combined and calculated from the sire and dam, and compared with other bulls of the same breed and raised in the same conditions, says so. Smaller bulls also need to have the EPD numbers to be able to be used on heifers. If there are no papers that come with a small bull that you buy, you are making a big gamble on him. Even EPDs on yearlings are not reliable, especially if you have a 60% chance that that bull will sire large calves instead of small ones. Thus young unproven bulls may have high birth weights that should not be used on heifers; the same goes with smaller bulls. Breed also has a large affect on how the heifers calve out, and what size of calves the bull will sire. For instance, a yearling Simmental bull is put in with about 20 Red Angus heifers. Low birth weight EPDs for the Simmental breed is different from the low birthweight genetics of the Red Angus breed, so there's a higher chance that 10 or 15 of those Red Angus heifers will need assistance. Even using a Red Angus yearling bull that may have the numbers for low birth weights may not sire low birthweight calves in all of the heifers. But, primarily using a Continental bull that is of a breed that is notorious for large calves, like Simmental, Charolais, Maine Anjou and Belgian Blue, for instance, on your heifers, is asking for trouble. Small bulls like Dexters, White Park, Red Poll, etc. tend to sire small calves that are easy for your heifers to pop out. So heifer bulls are chosen through careful selection of genetics, size and breed, with the type of heifers in mind, in order to have a successful, worry-free calving season. If you know what to look for, you will have some happy heifers on your hands.
How long do bulls live?
Most bulls will be on the farm/ranch until they're around 4 or 5 years old. By that time they start getting ornery and aggressive and need to be shipped to slaughter. Some bulls, however, will not get this way and live to be still productive past 15 years of age.
What are the disadvantages of the Charolais cattle breed?
Disadvantages include the following:Bulls and cows can reach monstrous sizes at maturity (most are over 1700 lbs at maturity; bulls much heavier)Not the greatest calving ease, especially if a Charolais bull is used on Red Angus or Angus heifers.Not known for docility, most cattle in this breed are nervous, flighty and can be down right dangerous when cornered. (However, this can be culled out in purebred Charolais cow-calf herds)Not easy keepers especially on coarse pasture typical of most ranching areas: cattle sometimes to often need supplementationLean beef; breed known for producing very little marbling in the beefLack of colour pigment around eyes may leave them prone to pink-eye and cancer-eyeLack of pigment may make teats more prone to chappedness and soreness in cold weather, even sun-burn and frost-bite (especially in older cows with large teats)
What bull can you breed safely to your holstein mix heifers?
The thing I'd like to know is what the "mix" part is in the "Holstein mix" equation. Is it Jersey, Guernsey, Hereford, Milking Shorthorn, Brown Swiss, Angus, Shorthorn, etc? And what type of bull are you looking for, a beef bull or dairy? That's the most important part you need to analyze before you make your bull purchasing decisions. For any heifers, you will need to look for a calving-ease bull. For most starting heifers, Jersey or Angus is probably the best for starters.
Should Black Angus bulls be different blood line from cattle to be bred?
It depends on what you mean by the overly ambiguous term "cattle." Are these cattle Black Angus cattle as well of the same blood-line as the bull you are interested in using, or not? Are these cattle of yours commercial stock of mixed breeds, or purebred Angus/Hereford/Simmental? If the cows you are using these bulls on are purebred Angus cows with known genetic history you don't need to. You can use these bulls for inbreeding to purify your cowherd. You can also use bulls of a different blood-line to improve your herd. I'm not saying you should or shouldn't--that's your decision--I'm saying that you can or can't.
How often do I need to rotate my auto's tires?
It is usually recommended to rotate them about every 6000 to 10000 miles depending on the car. Typically that equals about every other oil change.
How do you solve Chicago bulls rubik's cube?
The same way as a regular cube. The only difference is you may need to rotate the middle pieces when your done. Google search and there are algorithms to finish this last step.
Why does a sail need to be able to rotate?
it need to rotate so you could go in any direction

You don't need to rotate MY tires but, you need to when your car goes left or right when the wheel is straight.
When is it the best time for bulls to catch there prey and why?
Bulls are male animals that eat grasses. They have no need to catch them.

"An Angus" is correct because Angus has a vowel in front. Thus it is proper grammar to insert "an" in front, not "a." If there was a consonant in front, like the "b" in Brangus or the "s" in Simangus, then we would only need to have "a" in front in a sentence.
What education do you need to breed pit bulls?
People who breed pit bulls HAVE NO education, it's cruel and sickening
What are the general prices for a registered Angus bull?
The price of a registered Angus bull is all dependant on his physical appeal to you (what are some things that he has the your herd lacks) and the Expected Progeny Difference (EPD). Look for things this bull has that you lack. If what you need is not the norm, your bull might be cheaper if he has less of the more common traits and more of what you need. If you are buying by the lb, you'll either get a great deal or over pay. If you have a small herd of no more than 10 cows, don't buy a bull, either get a share of one or get your cattle artificially inseminated. This is way cheaper and a lot more efficient. If want a straight answer, research @ the Angus Association or ask a local breeder. Make sure to research costs of AI. You can ask your vet as well.Answer 2:It all depends on what you're looking for and what the breeders will be selling for. Some guys can have bulls that go for as little as $2000, whereas others will go for more than $50,000. Even though you haven't asked why prices are so variable for registered bulls, I think it's worth sharing on here.Most that have bulls selling for over $50,000 are those that are looking for profits. There are a lot of Angus bulls out there that shouldn't even be bulls, and it can be the most expensive ones that have the poorest conformation, temperament, libido, fertility, or even failed their BBSE tests. There are even "Angus" bulls that seem to be purebred, but are in fact composites. You won't know unless a) you ask or b) you find out the hard way when get some "surprises" from his calves when you breed him to your commercial cross-bred cows.Every bull is different. No two bulls are the same, and many bulls that you look at may not be the ones you want. Look at their EPDs, the sire and dam (if you are getting a yearling bull for your cows or heifers), and conformation. I don't believe that bulls that have a "less common trait" are cheaper; as a matter of fact it's the opposite. There are more breeders out there that are looking for and demanding bulls that have more common traits, which makes the prices not go up, but go down, making them cheaper. The rarer ones are more expensive because they are not in such high demand.Most of the time you will get a bull that is of good quality and a bargain to buy, but please find out why that bull was such a bargain. Ask the breeder you're buying from for recent semen test analyses of that bull, or if they haven't got one done on him, get one done before you buy. Chances are that bargain bull may be a dud. But there are other chances that the seller simply doesn't see it fair to sell a bull for more than he's worth; this is where price bartering may come into play. And like I said before, some producers will sell a bull for more than he's worth, which can be a rip-off.Do your research, check out different Angus registry assocations like the AAA if you live in the USA, the CAA if you live in Canada (Alberta Angus Association has the same acronym as the American Angus Association, so keep that in mind), or any other Angus registery websites if you live in other parts of the world. And there are many Angus breeders around, so shop around and don't get suckered into anything too soon.

How do you get new funkey famlilers in ub funkeys?
I don't think you can now, but if I'm wrong and you can, you'd go to Angus's lab. To go there, you click on Angus (if you see him) and click "go to Angus's lab. You need internet connection and web registration ( that means you need to be connected to the internet and be registered on the website, but I can't seem to get on it in english :/), though.
