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.
