    Keep himself and one or two cows on a few acres of rough ground, well out of the way. Everyone including the bull seems happy with the situation.:D

    Had mine running with a few autumn heifers last winter, fooker kept escaping under the electric fence, managed to get a 13 month old heifer incalf, thankfully she calved down big enough. This year we turfed him out with 12 hardly drycows in a sandy field down the far enough of the farm, not a bother on him so far.

    We leave him with the cows but they are out by day and in at night. No bother with him. Once the cows start calving and we can leave them out he goes with them.

    Our fella is in a field beside the yard by himself, not a stir on him.
