Here is what I assumed. #1 You are just starting out. #2 You wanted to get a black bull on your black cows as soon as possible. #3 You didn't want to give your left nutt for a bull. #4 You want to learn.
So with all that said, he will most likely put calves on the ground while you learn and know what to look for in your next bull.

I'm not 100% sure on the age. I was told a little under 2 years so thats all I had to go on. I really needed to get one in with the cows and didnt want to borrow one. I looked at a bigger three year old but he seemed to be aggrssive and stand offish.
This one will walk up and let you scratch his head.
I hope he works out but if not I'll use him this year and see how things go. I've had good luck getting the cow's to fill out hopefully he will do the same.
From reading these post's I've learned it's better to have to much pen than not enough.This one is 38'x60'
I wanted the pen to be solid and last. It's just 2"x6" pt and the post were sold as 5-6" but most are alot bigger. All is cemented in and I'm now in the market for the squeeze chute and head gate. I'm leaning towards the Priefert ( I think cause the blue matches my new holland) Looks like a good quality chute.
With the auger the post never went in exactly were I wanted so if you do 6' sections like I did instead of ordering 12' boards get the 14's it will save you alot of @$#%&
I think the post's were $8.25 each and the boards $7.00
Still not happy with my gates ( I think I should have used somthing a little heavier)

Maybe Keren will put it on here for me.

Not trying to be mean or anything but that bull aint worth the time or trouble. No matter how much you feed that bull he wont ever be good and should have been steered at birth. Ryan was right the cows are thicker than the bull and that is ashamed. You know the bull is 50% of your herd. If you buy a crap bull such as this the calves will be crap and wont sale good. I dont care how good the cows are if the bull is crap the calves will still be crap. To be honest if I was to come to a persons house to buy cows and they had a bull like this if I saw this bull before I got out of the car I would immediately turn around and leave. Seems like the only good black angus bulls now a days are the 100,000 dollar bulls and even some of those look pee poor. Best black angus bulls I have seen on this board were posted by jscunn and I dont think they were 100,000 dollar bulls. This proves they are out there you just gotta look to find em and know what you are looking for.
As a 'mater of fact I did. It was last night down in the holler. We had a Coon treed and the dogs headed back to the truck like they'd seen a haint. There he stood, outside his spaceship.I peeked in the porthole and he had Flaboy and MikeC shackled on a gurney doing some type of experiment on them with this intergalactical colored gal.ga. prime":3pz48axc said:Lotsa Tennessee people on this thread.

Crowder, the gates are crap... they are those $48.00 specials from the coop. I'm going to use them in other areas of the farm and get heavier ones for the pen.
