Most of the performance tested bulls I see coming out of places like Purdue follow a not too different path than your bull. Their April sale will have yearling bulls, anywhere from 12-15 months old which have been on full feed since early winter. I've been buying bulls out of their sale since 1994 and have never seen any of the problems some of the naysayers are mentioning. They all have a reproductive exam to make sure they are fertile and capable of breeding.
When receiving them, I like to dry lot them for a month on good hay, then they go in with a group of heifers around May 15. Sixty days later I pull them and try to get some really good hay into them in dry lot just to keep them from losing so much weight. Then I just let them run with my spring calving dry cows. I try to not use them hard until the next fall. But, sometimes, stuff happens. I try to keep them at least 5 years, sometimes 6.
