[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 239590, member: 694"] 9 years old is getting a little long in the tooth IMO, but don't nessacarily blame the bull if cows are missing in a drought. Drought can cause cows to breed back late or not take at all especially if they have a leach hanging on them. One drought management stategy is to wean early A&M has quite a bit about this on there web site.. Are the cows missing? Are calving cycles getting longer? Or are you just Curious about bulls? I wouldn't throw away a bull if my calving % is staying the same, his body codition is still good, cause you are going to get hamburger prices for him and have to dig in your pocket for replacement money. Fogot to ask what calving strategy do you use year around which is less pressure on an old bull versus a season spring or fall and he is seviceing 25 ladies over 60 days or 365 days? [/QUOTE]
