I developed 10 yearling bulls this year over winter. I have decided that I will only sell them as yearlings, 12-15 mths of age so they only get fed for one winter and as I get older I feel better about handling them at this size. 10x 2 yr old bulls in my facilities can get a bit dangerous towards the end with them fighting when yarded and the occaisional one will start to question you. I have kept one for myself to use and the remaining 9 have been for sale. The top 3 had a price tag of $6000 and the remainder $5000. Every time I think about placing an advertisement someone rings up and comes and buys 1 or 2 so I have had no expenses advertising nor agents commission. It is a sellers market here at the moment. There have been a lot of yearlings brought forward for sale this year which I am happy about as people who are dead against using a yearling are being forced into buying a yearling bull so hopefully they will have a good experience and more willing to buy in the future. I think the bull market will be tight again next year as a lot of yearlings have been brought forward for sale and so will be short of 2 yr olds next year but I think the following year there will be a glut of bulls as everyone will be keeping what they can to sell.
Here are a couple of the ones I sold taken about mid August.
The first is an SAV Rainmaster out of a SAV Renown cow
2nd is by one of my bulls an EF Commando out of a Bruns Blaster heifer
3rd is a Basin Rainmaker out of an EF Commando heifer.
