I'm interested in opinions on the age of young bulls for successful mating .
I have 15 cows and 6 heifers to mate and have been offered a pretty nice young bull at a good price. He would be just over 13 months when I need to start mating - do you think this is risky or should age just be one factor as well as size,weight, scrotal.
I've used plenty of "yearling" bulls in the past but they are usually 15 months plus at time of use.
Thanks in advance for any input.
