A bull is just going to take up space for you and not carry his weight do to the low number of cows. Go with AI.
Whoah whoah whoah. AI can be a good tool... BUT. It pretty much sounds like he is wanting beef calves to take to the sale barn each year. You cant be for certain youll get a calf with AI. If you can get your hands on a good temperment bull (I'd go with Pinzgauer if you can find one) you should be fine.
Before I go any farther, RICHARDL- do you have any cattle experience. If you have never been around cattle before maybe AI would be a nice place to start... even good temperment bulls can be a pain SOMETIMES.
Also- As mentioned before- get all your working pens set up, do you have a creek? or do you need to drill a well? get all that set up before you ever bring any type of cow home.
