Here is the bull I am using for cleanup this year. He is a 2 yr old by LD Capitalist and out of a Connealy Earnan cow. I used him last year to clean on a few heifers and then a couple of stragglers in the main herd. I usually use one of my yearlings for cleanup but I was very impressed with how he kept the bull calves away from the cows on heat last year I thought I'd give him another gig this year. I usually use a yearling bull but the only problem I have with them is that they are not as dominant as the older bulls in keeping the bull calves at bay and the cow/heifer on heat gets a bit peed off with all the calves jumping them and then they don't stand for the young bull. They seem to get the job done but it does cause me a bit of anxiety at times. I would have liked to see how he develops over the next couple of years but people have been keen to buy him after I finish with him early next year so I am taking the money while it is there.
Hard to get a photo with his head up but got one when he was doing a bit of taste testing.
