[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 400271, member: 6543"] different perspective I have been raising angus bulls for over thirty years. I have never sold a 7 month old bull. I don't sell any bull until he is at least a year old and developed enough to be ready to breed a few cows and usually they are older than that. Normally fifteen months before we sell any. why you ask. several reasons 1. at weaning i am not sure that I can pick out the best bull. if I can not pick them then I can not price them. 2. by developing them to yearlings I know they will have a good start and stand a better chance of doing a good job for the future owner. 3. No one can screw up the development and turn him out with a hundred cows and then bad mouth me because a calf could not breed a hundred cows. 4. by yearling age I have a performance record and can pretty well tell what i have got to sell and give an honest appraisal for the future owner.
