A few questions about this feat...
- How long does Bull's Strength (feat) last?
- Does it stack with Greater Bull's strength? (Or is it Greater Bulls?)

- If you followed the link to the spell, you might see that bull's strength lasts 1 hour / level.
In general, different spells do stack unless there is a special note to the contrary. For example, see greater bull's strength (which seems like a reasonable second place to check for this question, no?). --The Krit (talk) 20:55, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
Although the hard work and replies are appreciated, it would be better if their tone were expressed in a less desultory manner. It turns out that it is possible to find the actual answer to the first question, but it is not listed under the Bulls Strength spell at all. Instead, it's buried in the text under the Special Abilities section of Caster Level: "Special abilities can also have caster levels associated with them. For player characters, these special abilities usually come in the form of feats associated with a particular class; the caster level of these special abilities is the associated class level." (emphasis added) Meaning, presumably, this means it's the Blackguard Levels alone that determine the length of the Bull's Strength (feat), duration, not overall character level, or levels from other classes that also give access to the Bull's Strength spell. This is not linked to by anything in the current text.
Nor is it clear whether Extend spell, if the PC has it, can extend the duration of the spell provided by this feat (the Extend added as part of an item property or not). Presumably the answer is no, but it is not explicitly stated, and searching this entire wiki for an explicit answer (if it does exist under some other unreferenced section) is burdensome.
In terms of checking stacking with greater bull's strength, again, the text says "(However, bull's strength can be cast after greater bull's strength to get the bonuses from both to stack.)", which leaves open the possibility that the feat might not be covered, as it refers to a single spell when the feat and spell are different.
