I assume when you ''squeeze'' a bull it becomes a bullock and you Can not breed from it. My question is did you ever squeeze a bull then later regret it when it grows into a big fine animal that would have been a great bull to breed with ?

Yes squeeze men's to castrate. The term comes from the squeezing action of the Burdizzo, the tool (no pun intended) use to castrate.
Usually breeding bulls are pedigree registered so tend not to be castrated anyway. A bullock that turns into a fine animal may not breed well because it's breeding is unknown. It could be very hard calving too.
