A good rule of thumb is to check them twice a day after moving to a new pasture. He wasn't with the young ladies this morning. Walked about a half mile looking for him and he's swapping spit with some breds that are bagging up.

Not a behavior that I would care for. I want a hyper aggressive breeder. As a young bull he should be trying to keep his ladies all corralled close by. This attitude goes away after the first year in most cases.
Anytime I had a young bull that didn’t have this behavior they usually ended up being duds.
 
You would have loved the bull I used last year.

When you buy 50 bulls there is a good chance one or two may not be perfect.
 
I'm sure I could post a photo of all 50 & there would be something wrong with each one. Lol

Please disregard my worthless advice about checking a young bull twice a day. Good bulls never get in trouble, wander, do stupid things, etc.

Don't look at the actual bull and commercial black Angus cow on the right. Strong, level toplines are not profitable. He will be replaced with 10 horny swaybacked shoulda been steers this evening! Pronto! Haha

There are no perfect bulls or cows. Everything is a trade off. The best you can do is breed for your environment and hope for the best.
 
Angus are aggressive breeders, a strong labido to the point of being aggravating to deal with..they will take care of yours, and neighbors too, if it's possible for them to get to em..I keep a hot wire a few feet back off the neighboring fence.. don't won't to have the worry of him being a gentleman..

We have a 4.5 year old commercial Angus bull who keeps them tightly grouped this time of year while they are cycling. At first it drove me nuts. But have started seeing the good in it where I can.

Only drives me nuts when he won't let them follow me when I'm moving them to fresh grass. Really is only an issue when the neighbors bull is watching/hollering.
He's a decent bull other than that. Respects fence, hot or not.

Checking out the cows and green grass aside that mess of barbed looped over the post looks like a hang mans noose/wreck waiting to happen.

Probably shoulda took the photo after I grabbed that wire. It came from a brand new pond just to the right.
 
Bull calf, approximately 75 pound bw, sired by bull I kept over the winter. Born easily, as in one push. His mother is the long bwf heifer in the photos above. A good bull checks em when the calf is coming. He marks his calendar for a lovin appointment.lol
