Baymule
Herd Master
I vote for making him a steer for safety reasons. Cattle are notional as it is, toss big testicles in the mix and you have a thousand plus pounds of hormones that are a ticking time bomb. You have received some very sound advice from some very experienced people, people who have been there, done that, walked the walk and have years and years of experience. He can be fine for a long time, but someday, something will click in his bovine brain and he will do what bulls do.
If he is to be used for breeding, that makes him even more unpredictable. If you want a riding animal, train the cow. Or keep a bull calf from her, make it a steer and train it to ride. Then you get a riding animal and get to keep your breeding stock.
