Is there a repulsive force between neutrons at all distances or just real close?

With particles of the same charge there is a repulsive force at all distances and physicists talk about neutrons repelling each other. Does this repulsion occur at all distances like with charges particles? Or only when real close to each other?

I know we aren't meant to ask more than one question but I think this is interwined with my first one. Is there a mathematical way to express the strength of the repulsive force with distance?
