Wohlers Ranch is cooperating with Dr. Dave Hardin from UNL on his bull dominance project. We turned 7 bulls out with 105 heifers, Then Dave observed for 4 days to determined which bulls the heifers preferred to associate with and which bulls were most aggressive in chasing heifers. Next year we will DNA test the offspring to determine each calf's sire to see what the correlation might be. This information may be useful in giving pasture assignments to bulls on multiherd ranches with many bulls and several cow groups.
