We put herd bulls out around father's day, and bulls with heifers 2 weeks later. We like the heifers to see and be around calves before they have their own. I think they learn a lot from the older cows calving first. Our young cows have access to bunks most of the summer so we can spray for flies, and supplement their feed as needed.
