BeefTalk: Are You Feeding and Keeping an Eye on the Bulls?
Kris Ringwall, Beef Specialist, NDSU Extension Service
Sometimes beef producers overlook the obvious: bulls. If the bulls are not in a separate pen, now is the time to separate them from the cow herd and take a good look at their condition. Bulls actually enjoy a solitary life, absent from all the comings and goings in the cow herd. Bulls in a bullpen are much easier to monitor and watch while feeding, lest one of them decides to challenge you at the feed bunk.
