Looking After Your Bull – Guidelines

To give your new bull the best chance of success in your breeding program, we recommend the following management steps:

1. Transport & Transition
   

• Allow bulls time to settle quietly into their new environment.
• Avoid immediately introducing them to large mobs.
• MLA Transporting Bulls Information: CLICK HERE
  
  

1. Quarantine & Observation
   

• Quarantine new bulls for 5–7 days where practical
• Ensure access to clean water and suitable fodder or good quality pasture.
  
  

1. Joining Preparation
   

• If a single bull is purchased it is good to put him with a few quiet steers or heifers prior to joining to help them settle in.
• If multiple bulls are purchased, allow them room to establish their group hierarchy and good feed in the lead up to joining.
  
  

1. Joining Ratio 

• Joining yearling bulls (12 months of age) at no more than 25 cows per bull.
• Joining 18 month year old bulls at no more than 40 cows per bull.
• Joining bulls rising 2 years old standard convention is 1 bull to 50 cows or 2%.
  
  

1. Ongoing Health
   

• All bulls leaving Bald Blair having been ear notch tested to identify whether any persistently infected animals. There are no PI’s in the herd.
• Bald Blair has a complete herd vaccination protocol in place for pestivirus, leptospirosis, vibriosus and tick fever. 
• It is your responsibility to maintain these vaccinations by way of annual booster to ensure continued safeguarding of your herd. 
• Check bulls regularly during joining for soundness and have a replacement bull ready.
  
  

Following these guidelines will help ensure your Bald Blair bull remains healthy, fertile, and productive for years to come.
