The younger the better. Sometimes though, castrating at weaning age is also the best because then you take advantage of the growth spurt that bull calves have over steer calves. But if this is a mature bull we're talking about here (which certainly sounds like it), don't cut him. Just send him to the slaughter house and get some beef off of him. The beef would/should be as good quality as getting it from an older grass-fed steer, depending on the bull's diet.
A beef sire is a bull that is used for breeding beef cows to produce calves. A sire is a male that has offspring of his own, thus a beef sire is a beef bull that sires calves. The bull is a beef-type bull, which is much more muscular and larger than a dairy bull or dairy sire. Beef breeds include Angus, Charolais, Hereford, Maine Anjou, Shorthorn, Texas Longhorn, Brahman, Limousin, Braford, etc.
Bull beef is actually considered one of the best meats to eat, as it's quite lean and tender. However the meat quality depends on the age of the bull, his diet, breed, and temperament level.
