[QUOTE="BFE, post: 1428277, member: 28532"] I just brought home a 4 1/2 year old bull yesterday. What do I like about an older bull? You get to know his history, see his offspring. Also, if they're still sound and moving around good at an older age, one would hope that will translate to his daughters/future replacement cows. You should be able to see daughters in production with older bulls. You never know until it's all over switching bulls every year or two. What don't I like? By this time, they can get pretty good sized for smaller cows, and you never know how many years you got left with them, but you're just one broke pecker away from that with any bull, believe me I know that from experience.
