I bought a lm bull earlier this year, he was 15 months old when I put him with my first batch of 9 and all 9 are scanned in calf he is still with the other batch and havent scanned them yet.

Hard to remember but id say he was 550 to 600 kg, thats a memory guess. Id reckon once he is tall enough to cover cows you should be ok, all my cows are HE so height wasnt going to be a issue.

He should be well fit if hes pushed on a bit. i wouldnt over work him his first year and if he doesnt make the size by then you should nt be letting him near the cows.
