BANG FOR YOUR BUCK – YEARLINGS BULLS

We have led the way with yearling bulls and believe vehemently their use is key to increased farm gate profitability.

WHY?

1. Yearling bulls are out working while they are still relatively light and agile, so they are less likely to hurt themselves. Just as importantly, they are less likely to damage your valuable heifers or cows.

2. Yearling Bulls fight less, so are less likely to get injured by accident or misfortune. Why? Well they are out working when they reach sexual maturity instead of being run with a mob of bulls to grow out to two years of age. As a result we believe they don’t learn the bullying and riding behaviour that often occurs in bull mobs from 18 – 24 months of age with sexual frustration. We get overwhelming feedback from our clients that the bulls used first as yearlings are easier to manage both in and out of the cows and in their bull mobs.

Not everyone can produce yearling bulls as they need to be well grown and sexually mature when they first go out. This is our speciality and we have been growing and using yearling bulls for over 30 years.

Guidelines For Use

Join him with up to 35 head or at 3% in the first year and up normally thereafter. That first 35 head will be a bonus for you plus the other calves he gets from a longer working life. He will look his worst after the first joining as he has been working and growing at the same time but don’t worry his sex life won’t kill him and as long as you put him in a good paddock and treat him for pests and disease he will eventually grow out to be the dashing bull he was born to be.

Fertility Policy

Please read our Fertility Policy on Page 3. We have adopted this policy with reference to two others who share similar views, Millah Murrah’s Ross Thompson and Chris Hallett of Coolah Vet Clinic. The policy itself was written by Ross.

There Is Only One Rule

Don’t put him out in group joining with older bulls for his first joining. Join him either on his own or with a group of yearlings. For all enquiries, questions or problems, please call Stu on 0417 674 412.
