[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1451963, member: 24816"] As others have already stated, the main detriment I can think of is the bull would likely get hard to contain as he gets older and bigger. I have tried keeping bulls for a few years, never have gotten past 5 yrs. Most haven't lasted that long until they were causing trouble. For a while I was trying AI and cleaning up with yearlings. Now I am pushing it again with planning to winter a coming 3 and 2 yr. old bulls. I think they will likely be ok this winter and spring, but may have to out wheels under them this time next year. Also another detriment is that bulls can be destructive, just in scratching and rubbing their heads and necks on things. Had a 3 yr old once that would push a gate open, to get in the barn lot. Sold him because I was afraid he would try that with a gate that led out to the road. [/QUOTE]
