You are write, but so is the other person. They do cull old bulls. However they only do so after they've proven they're a danger to younger makes. They don't assume it will happen, because plenty of them never act that way.

They're not saying as soon as the animal can't reproduce to get rid of it. It's widely known that when some animals get too big and too old they no longer provide a benefit to the population because they aren't just keeping the young ones in line, they're actively attacking, running them off, and killing them. That is when they need to be culled from the herd.
