-What day(s) are you allowed to go visit the Nichols Bull stud in Iowa?
-Could you tell me of some other studs in my area? (picture of my county attached) I will travel a max. of around 3 hours.
-If you recommend a stud please tell me some of the major bulls that are collected there, Club Calves, Maines, Simmentals, Angus, Gelbviehs, Herefords, Charolais, or Red Angus. Or if you like some other breed I will listen.

Thanks in Advance, Jack

Here is Nichol's website.  It lists the bulls they currently have at stud.

Here is the Hawkeye Breeders website
http://hawkeyebreeders.com/     

I couldn't find where they list bulls currently there but list phone numbers and email addresses so you could contact them directly.  These places are about 20 to 30 minutes away from each other.  Not sure they have specific days or times for visit.  Contact both to be sure.

Its out of your area, but I work at Nebraska Bull Service and we welcome visitors anytime, but they may have different policies.

Make sure to look at the date last updated on the websites B/C they may not be current. Best time by far is in the spring B4 turn out. Most studs are full at that time of the year and don't usually have many bulls on hand this time of the year.
