We are to the point now where only about 1/2 of our Herefords can be bred by him so he isn’t of much use to us.
He has lead a great life, almost triple what he would have if we sold him as a yearling. He’s been out on the prairie with the cows for 4 summers, not something most grocery store beef get to experience.
We are going to replace him with one shorthorn bull that we can run with our registered shorthorn herd as well as the Herefords and Angus in our herd.
We have a couple more bulls going to the auction this year as well as few steers. We have 2 or 3 bull calves that we will hold back this year and sell next year as yearling bulls (one shorthorn, one Hereford from this bull, and one red angus). These are very tame and have had lots of human contact. Any one of them will make a great bull.
