[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 265062, member: 2308"] One of the biggest reasons is temprament. Once they get to a certain point they seem to realize that they are bigger than you and then they get almost impossible to handle. That, and they seem to get the idea they they can go where they want, when they want. As well, structural problems and size can be an issue especially if you are using him on heifers or small cows. I wouldn't normally consider buying a mature bull for those reasons. The oldest bull we have purchased was 4 and he was coming out of a purebred herd that needed to "change". Was a great bull, and he is still manageable, he is 6 now and we sold him to a friend who really liked him and the calves we were getting out of him. [/QUOTE]
