Answer to all the questions is located at www.MidwestMarketer.com/April4,2015 the title to the article is Extension expert offers herd bull purchase tips. In this article John Grimes Beef cattle expert said "There is simply too much risk involved in beef production today for the producers to take a chance on a choosing a herd sire without knowing its genetics, health and fertility." Its a good read that makes sense. :wave:

supposing you are keeping your own bull.
are we just going off of the sire/dams genetic history then?
just do it as if he was being sold. so it would be no different except you would keep him yourself.
I ask this as I have a bull im going to keep for my herd.
im running into the what to do with him now as he isn't ready to be turned out but at 8 mos he is too old to be in with weaning hiefers.

yeah the pics suck..he wouldn't pose...but he is from our bull..polled mandate III and one of our reg cows.
8 mos I think its time to get him away from the other 3 hiefers in there with him

That's good idea, keep him away from the heifers...

We have our intact bull calves penned separately from the steers, weaned heifers, bred heifers and bred cows.
They will be where they are until sold, castrated or turned out around July 1st.

I see 'em all the time--and bought for that price-----------------and for that reason, but seller always thinks he has a $2500-$3000 herdbull prospect--especially if it has the all important-annointed by gawd hisself black hide.

he looks kike he is going to have some muscle in his hips.but i really cant tell till you get him on full feed for 60 to 90 days to see how he is filling out.by full feed i mean have him eating 20 to 25lbs of feed a day.yes i know its costly.but its not cheap raising a bull.

I don't know anything about beefmaster but I think you can find a better bull than that calf.

muddy DB is learning and its hard for him to pay $4000 to $7000 for a reg beefmaster bull to go with his cows.
