I sold my Registered Black Angus bull at the sale barn this week. He was 14 years old and I had him with my herd for the last 12.
Even though he was still going strong, I knew it was a matter of time before he would go down.
He never had a flaw and put out some of the best calves I've ever seen. Culling him was one of the hardest discussions I've ever had to make in the cattle business.
If there is a silver lining... its that I gave 1300.00 for him, had him 12 years and he brought 1820.00 as a cull. :wave:
