For those CH vets
I want to attempt to find a Baby bull, I am new to Master CH and would like some advice from those of you veteran CH's that have found one.
It will be a long hunt for one I am sure so all the advice that I can get will help.
About where on Dath have you found them?
What types of lairs or did you get them from missions?
Any suggestions you might have would be appreciated

Do missions till you find one and stop at every wild lair you see.

yeah there is no secret, do what joker said..it took him half an hour, it took me several weeks of non stop grinding..
just kill all the bulls you find, until you get lucky..can't put it any simpler than that..

Well, here is my new theory. I got through 50 lairs in about 5 hours of effort this weekend:
1) master rifleman/creature handler (speed capped MRMbtw) and get some good armor.
2) obtain an alt who is also a MCH (lol).
3) park alt in cantina on dath with level 70 pet out and with a high level rifle in hand
4) group with alt and take 1 or 2 missions for bull rancor that are within 1k of the outpost
5) drive to first mission, conceal shot the bull to death (to avoid disease) then strafe2 the other two rancor
6) tap lair once, peace repeat step 5 (no pets used here)
7) tap lair to so that the lair ham is just past the B in "bull rancor lair"
8) if a baby does not spawn, abort mission and move along
9) repeat all.
Makes getting missions much easier. Course, you could also just get two pets out that are level 70 and a probot and a dxr to get the missions.
Sounds tedious, no? I figure I have killed prolly 400-500 lairs over the alst year.Hopefully if I focus on in, one will pop soon.

just out of curiosity why would you abort the mission? 500X 18k = 9 million credits
and if you use pets and a tenloss, you can finish a mission in about 3-4 min

I've adopted the strategy of sitting in my house on Corellia and waiting for a bull rancor baby to come to me. I figure if I aim at nothing I'm more likely to hit it. Have had great success so far.

i am just doing it for times sake so i dont have to bother killing the final spawn. That is all, if i wipe out everything i do finish the mission, or i just wipe out the lair without finishing off the remaining rancor.

Before I started the switch to rifleman, I would try to find two missions that were close to each other, 1,000 or under. I would then bring a lair to the 1/2 way point, and move to the next one. Do the same thing to the second lair, then move back to the first one. The first one would be fully regenerated. Repeat until it says you ran out of time for the mission. It can save alot of time going back to the Outposts.

This is a good point, does the mission just have a specific amount of time to be completed (once engaged) before it poofs? If so, that might change my theory.
Does anyone know?

Yes, they do. Once, I have started on them, there is a set time. Inever bothered to time how long I have, but I would guess about an hour. I think it kicks in as soon as you start to hit the lair. I don't bother to get the mission payouts anymore for anything I hunt because it really isnt that useful to me. I would rather keep my momentum going, than have to go back and cycle thru missions until I find what I want.
