[QUOTE="Steve123, post: 1711096, member: 38418"] We have bought several older bulls that we really liked their calves. The best example of this is the Simmental bull 600U. Leachman didn't know how good he was until he had some calves on the ground and they bought him back. The problem with buying an older bull is you have to have the facilities to handle them. When they are at their home place they get into a familiar routine and don't cause trouble. We unloaded an older bull we bought and he took out 3 fences before we knew what happened. The other thing is you need to quarantine them and get them tested. Also, Vibrio and Lepto vaccine right off the truck. Jorgensen Angus in SD sells a ton of bulls after they have been out on lease. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
