When you get your newly purchased bull(s) home there are several management practices you should observe to get the best reproductive performance.

• FEEDING

Your yearling bull still has a lot of growing to do You should talk to the breeder on what ration the bull was on and feed accordingly with a feed of good quality hay or silage from now until breeding

Be careful putting your new bull in with other strange bulls Fighting and riding could injure him before he begins

•

BREEDING SEASON

Plan to use the bull in a restricted 45-60 day breeding season for the first time (if possible)

Observe him closely to ensure he is serving and settling females

• NUMBER OF COWS

A good rule of thumb is to turn him out with 1 cow for every month of age Thus, a 15 month old bull can be turned out with 15 cows

• MANAGEMENT AND HOUSING

The bull should be put in a well fenced area prior to and after the breeding season A shed or other natural windbreak should be provided

Treat routinely for lice and worms

Run the bulls together with caution . Bulls of similar age or those which have bred cattle together will usually work

Check for any unsoundness which may develop

Vaccinate and semen test annually

REMEMBER

Bulls are guaranteed by the breeder to be breeders if well managed

Information For Producers

High reproductive efficiency is economically 5-10 times as important as rate of gain or carcass quality. Therefore, fertility is the foremost concern in bull selection. High fertility in bulls requires soundness in 3 basic areas: sex drive and serving ability, physical soundness and semen quality. Usually there is no assessment of sex drive in routine bull evaluations and some mating problems cannot be detected by a chute-side physical inspection. Therefore, producers must determine on their own whether bulls have adequate sex drive and serving ability.

The first semen a young bull produces has very poor quality and is low in sperm numbers. It takes 3 to 4 months from the onset of sperm production until a young bull reaches maturity and is able to produce good semen. In general about 45%, 75% and 95% of bulls are mature at 12, 14, and 16 months of age, respectively.

Scrotal circumference measurement is a highly accurate indicator of testis mass. Large testes are important for normal sperm production and adequate numbers of sperm for the high breeding pressure of short breeding seasons. In addition, large testes are strongly positively correlated with early onset of puberty in heifer offspring, early breeding of heifers, and high female lifetime productivity. Since scrotal circumference is highly heritable, producers should be careful to avoid bulls with below average testis size. In yearlings, scrotal circumference increases at about 1.5, 1.1, 0.8, and 0.4 cm from 11-12, 12-13, 13-14, 14-15 months of age, respectively.

The following tables show the average scrotal circumference for bulls according to age and breed. Bulls measured under cold conditions, or with excessive body condition, may have inflated measurements by 1 to 2 cm. The minimum recommendations in Table 3 eliminate bulls in about the bottom 10% for scrotal circumference.
