can you see where the blood came from? maybe from something else and not related. I have found mature bulls to be very good to bull calves. Even letting the little ones push on him and play. It is not until the calves get older and become actual competition that they start really getting into it. A 2 year old is not really mature but still dont think he would hurt a 6 moth old. Introducing mature bulls together is something I would be cautious about.

Same her as Mike said. I've never had an incident between a mature bull and a calf that was serious. Discipline, yes, but no injury. Even some head butting and pushing and shoving. It was all within the boundaries of acceptable behavior.
Before making a decision on what to do, I would try to determine what caused the blood.

I'd be interested to see if the behavior continued. It's normal for the dominant animal(s) in a field to establish pecking order when any new animal is introduced to the equation. Source of blood is a good question. However, if this aggression is just a one or two day wonder, I think you will find things settle down pretty quickly. Let us know. cheers, c.
