Red angus bull, when is he ready?

[Turin53]

We have a red angus bull, he seems interested in our two cows, but that's all. How old does he have to be to be willing and able to breed? He is about a year and a half now.

That might depend on how he's been developed. How big is he? I'd expect a well grown out Angus or Red Angus bull to be ready to breed by 12-14 months.

If we have more than one bull, and only two cows, could that be why he hasn't performed? I think we just have too many bulls and not enough "girls". Ya think the same?

Might be. If the other bull is older, he may have beat up the younger one until he's afraid to try to mount a cow.

yep... definitely need more girls around.....

Or he may be a moonlight romeo. Are you sure the girls aren;t bred? Pedro was 14 months when we turned him in with the cows, settled Granny an hour after he got off the trailer.
