HERD HEALTH, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 69

When semen testing on yearling bulls, besides checking semen quality and scrotal size, we are looking for other odd ball things such as warts, frenulum’s, hair rings, cuts, preputial infections and seminal vesiculitis being the main ones. Fortunately, if found, many of these things can be corrected right at the time of the semen test. If you happen to see a yearling bull with a big wart on his penis, have that attended to ahead of time. The semen test will then be the recheck as all the conditions mentioned above will almost always be rechecked by the veterinarian to make sure healing has fully occurred and no other issues have developed.

If you can’t get semen on an apparently normal bull, try using a bigger probe with more contact or the veterinarian massaging. In extreme cases, I have had a refractory bull to the ejaculator breed a cull cow and pull the semen and vaginal mucous out and evaluate that. In this case, you can even watch his ability to breed at the same time. As breeders, it is always best to ask a commercial breeder to try to watch at least one mating to make sure young bulls have the desire and physical ability to breed. This is what we can’t check and sometimes they need more time and patience and other times they never do and need to be culled.

I hope bull sales go well this spring and that the bulls have all matured the way you like them. With high end bulls, some breeders also draw them for on farm usage. This is a type of insurance, because if the bull has issues you at least have semen on him. There are a handful of veterinarians, including the AI studs, where owner’s use collection can be performed. Seek them out if you need them.

Here’s to a smooth sailing calving season with minimal issues and you all have a very safe and prosperous holiday season.
