Currently in a quandary as far as what to do about selling our 3 yr old bull. I had intended to keep him a while longer but bought a young bull that is unrelated and thus don't have to worry about him breeding any closely related cattle. Have had the big bull up for a few weeks and he is in good shape, kind of hate to pound him out but thinking that might be thing to do. He isn't wild but is wary of people he doesn't know. He doesn't pay any mind to me, but an example would be someone came to look at him the other day and he whipped around with his head up and kept his sights on him. Needless to say they understandably passed on him.
I know the market fluctuates and isn't time predictable but have heard that pound cattle tend to go up around Memorial Day I guess to coincide with summer grilling out ( although I like to cook out sometimes in the winter too.). I am wondering if I should take him to market soon or if it would make any difference in waiting a couple weeks or so? I am guessing him to weigh around a ton give or take a 100 pounds or so.
