[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1335898, member: 24816"] Thank you for those questions/considerations. I have different bulls for different roles, such as calving ease Angus for heifers, and am using a Hereford bull for some of the cows. As of now, my market focus is mainly just commercial feeder calves, and some heifers are retained to sell as bred heifers. Docility is very important to me. The rogue bull was selected in large part for his docile nature, and has been very easy to handle, until the last couple weeks when he has become obsessed with going through fences. Usually if they go through there is a reason, a cow in heat, or another bull to fight with, but this one just sees a fence and wants on the other side. One of the concerns that I have with Limousins is just that, along with calving ease. I was considering one of those bulls initially because of pricing. I have invested quite a bit in bulls over the last few years, and am not really wanting to invest a lot in a bull at this point, as I don't keep them long. I am starting to have some home raised bulls, but am being very selective of them. You are right it is a serious business, and common sense is needed. I was just thinking that it might be a viable option since it would just be with a few cows. [/QUOTE]
