HUGE BULL COMES TO THE FARM! But will he get the job done?
What happens here
The farmer discusses how cows, like chickens and people, have a pecking order, and the introduction of the new bull will lead to a 'dominance establishment.' He mentions another young bull, Cody, is also in the pasture, which might lead to some interaction. He explains the farm's breeding strategy, aiming for calves to be born during the spring flush (March-May). Since this year's calves were early, the bull was brought in slightly later. The farm runs a 'calf-calf operation,' raising calves to 400-600 pounds for market or selling beef directly from the farm. He expresses confidence in the bull's ability to breed the 29 cows and heifers.
Goal: The farmer explains the natural 'pecking order' among cows and how the new bull will establish dominance. He also details the farm's calf-calf operation strategy.
