[QUOTE="Jonny B88, post: 3739116, member: 10679"] We bought two bulls last year one lim and one stabiliser. We bought the stabiliser a few months before he was needed as we had planned to get him used to his surroundings and settle in well. We had to buy the lim at short notice as our own lim had hurt himself in the shed just prior to turnout and had to be put down. The lim bull was around 20 months I believe and had been fed for the show ring whereas the stabiliser was in a pen of his 14 month old roughly peers. He was fit and the lim was fat. The lim turned out sub fertile and developed a twisted penis, only getting 6 cows in calf. The stabiliser got his originally intended 10 heifers in calf within a couple of weeks and then moped up what the lim missed. I'm not bashing limousin or promoting stabiliser as we have had lim for a long time, it was the way they were fed and when they came here how long they had to acclimatise to this place that effected them I believe. Be wary of over fed showy Bulls!!! [/QUOTE]
