When choosing a bull for breeding you will want to choose a bull that is long and has a strong set of feet and legs. You will want to look for a bull that is wide in chest and muscle for feed consumption. If you are able to view the bulls before buying, you will want to see that the scrotum is large and straight. It is important that bulls are not too big to breed your cows or heifers. A bull with strong muscling and beef characteristics will be a better choice over one that does not.
Check out the related question below on selecting an Angus bull (this question is very similar and relevant to the selection of any other beef bull). The conformation question is also highly relevant to picking out a good herd bull.

Is bull beef good for slaughter?
No, if you're slaughtering for food, then you don't want to slaughter a bull. Bulls are bulls for a reason. They have good enough genetics that they've been given the privilege of staying a bull so they can breed cows and bring on better genetics in those calves. Those slaughtered for food are usually steers. Steers are males that have been castrated, and so they aren't good for anything else except being turned into beef for us to eat.Answer 2:Actually yes, bull beef is good. It may be a bit more stronger tasting, but it's still beef. The countries in the EU slaughter young bulls for beef, and those bulls that do go for slaughter get turned into some form of beef or other, primarily for hamburgers and sausage. But, there are a number of folks around that do and can slaughter bulls for beef, much like steers and heifers are. Even though bulls are bulls because they are primarily used for the purpose of breeding cows and passing on their genes to their future progeny, they can still be slaughtered for beef for the freezer. Younger bulls tend to taste better than older bulls, though.
