After you used the bull to breed your cows, you could sell the bull as a proven bull. You could try to sell it on your own and see if you get the price you want. If that did not work, you could take the bull to the sale barn.
That beefmaster bull seems like a very good deal.
Check your local regs about selling a non-virgin bull. In KS, bulls that change possession or ownership within Kansas must meet one of the following criteria:
Non-virgin bulls or bulls greater than 18 months of age:
****Must be tested for trichomoniasis and certified negative within 60 days prior to change of possession or ownership, OR
****Be sold for slaughter only or for feeding for slaughter purposes.
**Virgin bulls 18 months of age or younger may change possession or ownership without a negative trichomoniases test if the owner signs a statement verifying the bulls have not been sexually exposed to breeding aged females.
**Virgin bulls 24 months of age or younger that are part of a herd management plan approved by the animal health commissioner shall not be required to be tested for trichomoniases and certified negative prior to changing possession or ownership.
