[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 153930, member: 2862"] The only reason that I see for pulling the bull is that they'll keep a little easier if they aren't running with the ladies. I keep my bull in for about the same amount of time as you mention, pulling only before calving starts. My lates and opens are culled immediately, and sent out for meat. I used to keep my lates, take the calf and then sell the cow for meat, but it was too much work for my tastes. Middle of haying season is not when I want to be out checking for calves. And I won't sell my culls (either late or open) as breeding stock. If they aren't good enough for my herd, I don't think I should sell to anyone either. Rod [/QUOTE]
