    How many years can a male stud?

    I've been offered a older male from '06. He's been replaced by a multi gene male. So he's still healthy.
    He is 7 I feel strongly he has many years yet as a breeder, but not a 100%.
    Whats your oldest breeder?

    I read that BP can breed their whole lives as long as they are of proper weight and health. I'm a newbie so take with a grain of salt but this was what I found in my BP research before I purchased my own.

    I have a 5 1/2 year old FEMALE breeding this year...so if she can breed, I'm sure your boy will be just fine for a few more years.

    BPs can breed their entire lives. And they can live 20+ years.
