Will a bull calf born in early spring of 2007 be ready for next breeding season next spring (hereford)? We have heard that a good stout bull around 800 lbs should be alright.

You'd be better off to cut him, sell him and put some money with that to buy yourself a decent breeding age bull. Feel free to correct me if I read your post wrong.

I'm a bit confused by your response. She did not state that their bull weighed 800 lbs, only that they had heard it was ok to use an 800 lb bull to breed with. No pictures were posted, so why would you recommend cutting what might be a very good bull calf? :?
