[QUOTE="CWT Angus, post: 500636, member: 1509"] Interesting you brought this up. I sold a bull calf last August @ 7 mo old. The buyer wanted to use him as a yearling to cover a few cows. He contacted me a few weeks ago & says he is breeding the cows but they are not getting settled. We get him semen tested & he is pretty low. Definitely not a satisfactory breeder at 12 mos old. I know yearling BSE's can be a shot in the dark, but I have never had a problem with a yearling not passing. Either way I offer to refund him or swap him out for another bull of the same age that I have deleloped here. I go over there to swap him out & am shocked at how underweight the 1st bull is. That's why the poor guy isn't even close to doing his job. So we have a long talk about developing yearling bulls to serve the purpose he needs & I swap out bulls & go home. Long story short, in the future I will also be very selective in who I sell cattle to. I had to make good on this deal that I had gotten myself into. My mistake. Now I have a yearling bull at home in desparate need of groceries. Time will tell how it all works out. Live & learn I guess. [/QUOTE]
