[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1779461, member: 16453"] I sell my bulls as yearlings (13-15 mths of age). I'd rather have them gone than have to deal with them by myself for another year. I do keep one myself to use as a yearling on my heifers then will use him the following year on the main cow herd. Once they go out with the heifers/ cows they mature quickly. I will avoid any confrontation with them, I won't walk between them and a fence or between them and cows. I move them in groups as in with their cows and will use the dogs. I am not afraid of them and just avoid situations where they might think I am challenging them. I have found this works well in my situation. I have had them snort and carry on a bit when feeding them back in the bull paddock and I make light of it, tell them what an idiot they are and will just go to the other side of the feed trough to put the feed in. They are probably carrying on more to the other bulls than me. If I was to carry a stick and lay into them I feel that it would be the start of a continual battle. It is not hard to walk around them calmly avoiding potential confrontations. Ken [/QUOTE]
