[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 914513, member: 16769"] He's still on a bottle, but you can see hints of orneriness already? We've only raised one steer that was Jersey. He wasn't mean, but he was quirky as all get out and you had to watch just so he wouldn't run over you. I am not excited about ever having another one on the place. He'll be "safe" to breed when he's old enough--around a year old--if, by "safe" you mean when he could likely sire offspring. But what will you breed him to? Whether or not he will be safe for you to handle as a breeding bull will depend on his temperment/attitude and your handling skills. I think you'd be wise to take the previous suggestions of experienced cattle people: castrate him, and raise him for the freezer. [/QUOTE]
