    Took the teaser bull away from the cows today. hes a 38 mth old holstein in great order. planning on bringing him to the mart asap but wondering would i be better getting him cut and sell him as a bullock or move him as he is? He approx 750 kgs and a o/p grade.

    You could try to DD him. There's apparently a good few guys in trouble with concetion rates/submission rates and some of them may not be willing to throw their hat at A.I. for this year yet. If they needed a teaser in a months time they could buy a strong weanling and get him done but they need one now so you might get a bit of a premium for him.

    always factory mine just under the 2 yr mark and either get steer or young bull price ... beats having him over another winter considering he doesnt get to work until may ... imo the cost of vasect is covered by the increase in carcase grade and fce

    I thought all bulls over 2 years had to be done. I was blooding 2 cows so decided to do him too. Never asked vet, if he had to be done.

    Under the Brucellosis Eradication Scheme, the animals which require to be tested in the Annual Round are female animals aged 24 months or more and bulls aged 24 months or more.

    I don't think it matters if he's not used for breeding as such. Will a teaser not spread brucellosis in the same way?
