Care of Newly Purchased Bulls When you get your newly purchased bulls) home, there are several management practices you should observe to get the best reproductive performance out of your new bull. 1. Feeding: Remember the bull is a yearling and still has a lot of growing to do. Feed the young bull well. Hay and grain or silage and grain, plus a protein supplement will be adequate. You should feed one pound of grain per 100 pounds of body weight and 1-2 pounds of protein supplement, in addition to a full feed of good quality hay or silage from now until the start of the breeding season. Supplemental feeding during the breeding season is recommended if practical. After the first breeding season, continue to feed liberally so the bull will grow and meet his full genetic potential. 2. Breeding season: Plan to use the new bull in a restricted 45 to 60 day breeding season for the first time you turn him out. Observe him closely to be sure he is serving and settling females. 3. Management and Housing: The bull should be put in a well fenced lot prior to and after the breeding season. A shed or other natural windbreak should be provided. Provide plenty of clean water, and free choice minerals. Treat routinely for lice, grubs and worms. Run bulls together with caution. Bulls of similar age and those which have bred cows together will usually work. Check for any unsoundness which might develop. Test annually for Brucellosis and Lepto. Vaccinate annually for IBR, PI3, BVD, BRSV and Lepto. 15
