We're too ignorant to handle bulls, because we have never bothered to implement a systematic varnasrama training program. But, on the other hand, we may lose the ability to use artificial insemination.

I agree it is very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. I remember Never trust a bull that has a missing link in its chain...if it's meant to be tied up. What happened in Mayapur with our dear Lalu, the king of his heard, I don't want to repeat - one gets accused of exaggeration (and by non agricultural people)......So unless you have a qualified person to design your yards and pens accordingly etc., or keep himself, if there is no neighbour, then best to use AI. Comment 990225: The first time I had a dealing with a bull (I was five) now I am fifty and there has been about 10 years when I have not had daily contact with a bull. What you say is true, I would recommend that a few bulls be kept in the appropriate facility by experienced personel and that be the function of the farm temple. Individual devotees bringing their cow for breeding at the appropriate time. Devotee should try to avoid living away from other Vaisnavas .... for the sake of sanga. In this way we can also meet SP directive to not use AI. ys, Rohita dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
