Subject: Bull weight loss question??


Morgantown, Ky
Turned a 20 month old bull in with about 25 cows/heifers, not all were open as some were fall calving. He was not fed heavy while he was away from cows but did get a little feed, hay and had access to a protein tub. Weighed about 1600 when put in with the cows and weighed 1450 this weekend. He looks ok, doesn't look fat just a lean look to him. They were just on grass since end of May when he was turned in, got just a little feed once in a while to get the herd up to spray for flies or to get calves up. Fall pasture was poor since it was so dry and hay was out for the last month.

Would that be normal for a working bull? He seems more active than my last couple bulls.
