This will depend on the individual bull, the breed, how heavily he was used and what kind of footing he was working on. A well-maintained bull with good genetics and good conformation kept on solid, non-skid footing can be used for breeding for 10-12 years. However, most bulls are kept for 5-8 years before either better genetics can be brought in or his knees and back give out.
Often a bull should stop breeding either if he's too old and not fertile enough any more to be used, or if he's become too aggressive and dominant with his handlers to be considered a keeper anymore. There really is no defined age when a bull should stop breeding.

Herd bull, stud bull, etc.
Just like with cows, a bull is culled based on conformation, temperament, fertility, health issues and breeding ability. A bull can be too old to breed when he's 5 yrs old or at least 15 years of age.
Simmental bull calves will reach puberty when they get to be around 10 months of age, and are commonly used for breeding when they are past 12 months old.
A bull is 51 when he stops breeding in bull years

A bull.
That breed is alive and breeding. The only bull breed extincted is the Cuban pit bull.
A 20 month-old bull should be able to breed around 10 to 30 cows in a breeding season. The most may be 40, but that could be pushing it.
Yes...unless they survive.
no because a tiger is to quit for a bull to block the tigers moves
Breeders wait until the female is part the first heat but waiting 3 years of age is recomended.
