Dont usually sell to factory. Have a cow in or around 750kg. How would she fair out?

Yes that means you'll get paid €1250 before deductions. I assume you know that deadweight means the carcass weight after skinning and cleaning out etc.

Quick question regarding age of Bull. Would a 12 month old Bull be old enough to look after 10 Cows or are there other factors to consider like Cow size etc.
Or what age would a bull need to be to stet working.

Generally 15 months is a safe bet. It really depends on the individual bull. If he has the height and is showing bullish qualities already, he might be fine.

What breed? I think 12 months is a bit young tbh

12 months is a bit young, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be capable. But, he’d probably tire himself out, and possibly hurt himself, chasing after the same cow for about 2days when she’s in season. Your best option would be to keep him away from the cows, and bring the cow to him when the time is right. Give him a couple of goes at her, and take her away again. But l suppose part of your reason for running a bull is to avoid work like that....

Limousine. He'd be 13 months when I'd be letting him out but only thinking of buying him so that's why was doubting his age
