Choose your breeding program. There are two types to choose from, and both can be integrated into the other, if you so choose.
If your herd is too small to have a herd bull or you do not want to have to deal with bulls, use artificial insemination to breed your herd.
If you have a herd of 10 or more cows and you do not want to go the extra mile of having to AI them, a good herd bull is the way to go. The rule of thumb is 1 bull per 25 cows. High fertility bulls with high libido can service 50 cows with no drop in conception rates. Bulls reach peak fertility by 20 months of age, after 20 months of age it can only drop, barring illness or injury, with proper nutrition most bulls fertility will not start to decline until after 6-7 years of age.
