Well, like the guys said they wont bring squat at the sale barn as they would be classified as bulls.
You can cut them, Ive cut bulls up to 1200 lbs, no problems. I use the Henderson Castrating Tool. But then if they are taken to the sale barn after being cut they may bring up to 10-15 cents less then regular steers as they have the "bull look" to them. Buyers here are picky about that.
If it was me in this situation, Here's the two options I would be thinking about. 1. Buy them, cut them, and then feed them out to about 1200 - 1400 lbs and keep/sell as freezer beef. 2. If I could get them cheap, buy them, cut them and then after they are healed take them to the sale barn.
No way I would buy them for breeding bulls without some paperwork or history. Plus if he cant keep them in with his fences they are most likley "fence rogues" and you wont be able to keep them in either. Unless they are in confinement.
