[QUOTE="VanC, post: 512839, member: 3355"] First of all, you should castrate the bull calf if you haven't already. Partly because you don't want him breeding the heifer by mistake after they get older and partly because Holstein bulls usually get pretty mean as they age. As for breeding your heifer, most people breed heifers at about 14-15 months so they calve at around 2 years old, so you've got plenty of time to think it over. Simmental would be fine, but make sure the bull is a calving ease bull with high accurracy. I would suggest Angus or Hereford but most of the major beef breeds would be OK as long as you know it's a calving ease bull. [/QUOTE]
