[QUOTE="TexFarmer, post: 1415771, member: 28147"] I'm running about 30 head of cattle and have had a few bulls born this winter/spring that I have castrated via band however I have this one little bull that was born on March 8, 2017 (2 months old) that I really like the way he looks. His mother is a pretty good looking red angus (kept her weight on after calving as you can see below) and his father is a solid black angus bull. I'm pretty new to cattle and was wondering what determining factors should I be looking at when deciding which bulls to castrate and which ones I might consider leaving in-tact? I'm in NE Texas and black angus cattle are predominate around here, would I have any luck raising this little guy as a bull with him being a deep solid red angus? If I decide to leave him as a bull, how is the best way to market him, sale barn, craigslist, some other means? Here he is standing out beside his mama this afternoon.
