[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 1017589, member: 6713"] 14 to 16 months is usually a fairly safe bet. You would want to have a Breeding Soundness exam done on him before you turn him out at any age. The thing you usually give up by developing your own is him being able to perform at a young age. Most bulls coming off test will pass their BSE at 12 months and be big enuf physically to breed but you will pay more than 1500 for that compared to one that is allowed to develope at a slower pace. FWIW i have to wonder why you want to own a bull for a 5 cow herd. Why not have them AI'd or try to find some to let you run them with their herd for 60 days! [/QUOTE]
