Bull Calf running with Heifers

I had a cow and her bull calf running with heifers for the last number of months the calf is touching 7 months and has been weaned from the cow - should i be worried that the Bull calf may have bulled the heifers before he was removed?

Depending on his size and theirs.

We have one, he is a twin, he too short of stature. But then again they say "small dogs often have long tails"

At 7 months he would be well able to do damage, especially if the heifers are small enough. I find BB heifers (or heifers with BB breeding) can come around at 6 months generally LM or Ch heifers would be 9 months +.

I bought a 320kg fr bull a few years ago and he jumped on a 700kg Holstein cow but fell back on his back so I ai'd her instead to hereford, she calved to the fr.
