how old is your bull? I feel they need to really put on great weight before turning off the heat and "winterizing" them. I'd keep the heat on and offer food every 4 or 5 days, making sure they get enough to eat. If you're not gonna breed it, why put it down? If it refuses food for 3 or 4 consecutive feedings, then I might consider giving it a "nap" of 4-6 weeks without the heat. Then turn on the heat and let it warm a few days and see if it eats. Pics please!
