Can a bull serve the same cows for more than a year, or do farmers use a different bull each year?

A bull can be used to service the same cows every year so long as he isn't breeding his own daughters. When that bull's daughters reach breeding age (~15 months), a different bull will need to be used to avoid inbreeding. The lifespan of a bull in a breeding herd can range from 2 to 15 years, and all depends on his temperament, libido, and fertility.
