[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1428266, member: 22236"] My old bull is nine. I have to admit that there is a connection with him that there won't be any later bulls, my Grandpa and Dad's last bull they bought, but he's throwing good calves that come easy and grow good. He is a very easy keeper, great disposition, I can do anything with him. Just walk around shushing or talking to him and he amble wherever you want him to go. He slicks off really fast, is short haired, and doesn't stand around in the water all the time. All things I want my cows to be, so I'm keeping every heifer of his that is out of an older cow. Him and the old cows I'm keeping heifers out of have been on this place, or on Dads old place a couple miles over, or the bulls birthplace two and a half miles over since birth. Trying to get a group put together that can handle/keep handling our environment here. He's got heifers coming back to him possibly this fall. I've got a young bull, but the jury is out until this fall on him. I don't think that because you buy a young bull that you are necessarily upgrading your genetics, even from a seedstock producer.
