[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 671427, member: 3937"] It's clear that these bulls are raised in big range country for covering ground. Not raised in feedlot conditions or on test to see how fat they can get by their first breeding season. That last thing you want to turn out on the big pastures is a fat young bull. I'd take a bull like this any day. As far as putting a yearling bull with a mature bull. It's done all the time. Few problems, especially on big pastures. The young bull won't mess with the big guy and will keep a distance. It's far worse to turn in a equal size new bull to the pasture. Equal size bulls may never establish a pecking order and will waste much time and energy fighting, pawing, bellowing and concentrating on each other more then the cows. It's different when bulls are Wintered together. [/QUOTE]
