[QUOTE="BC, post: 397450, member: 67"] You got the reasons for doing it. Should you? It depends. It depends on where you sell, how big the calves are and what time of year. Some markets have more steers and therefore dock bull calves. If you sell at over 450 lbs then there are some discounts especially in August through October. Some order buyers have specific orders for steers only. You limit the buying power when you have bulls. One other thought, I sometimes buy cutting bulls to steer and turn out. I buy them because they are cheap and I figure the upgrading as my profit. [/QUOTE]
