Today I went out and helped with the fertility testing of the grazing association bulls.
We gathered them yesterday, 85 head.
28 failed.
Heads up gents.

Global freezing your nuts off.
Old school vet and he took his time. Took 9 hours.
Spotted our buddy on his way home with an empty pot and he hauled the unlucky bulls to town. They changed the cell towers out there and it's chittier service.

I guess you test the bulls every year. Is 33% normal ?

Hal, I would guess it should be closer to 10%.

The bulls won't recover and be capable ever again?
Yeah, I don't wanna freeze my nuts................ain't plannin' on makin' no lil' ones, but still.............a big nope for me.
I'm sure all the bulls that are still able to work will be happier now..............more girls per each!

Geno, you would have loved to talk to the vet.
60 years old(?) and willing to explain knowledge.
Learned some new tricks.
Due to the size of the pastures we have to buy new bulls.
But canners are sky high so that helps.

But canners are sky high so that helps. Yeah. It’s kinda easy to invest when a 600 pound bull brings 2.04 a pound. That’s the second time in the last eightish years they’ve brought that here. I hope it sticks. Lotta damn expense goes along with cows.

Early Feb we got 2.10 for a run of 675 pound steers calves.
Wish we still had 'em!
Good 2-3 yr old pairs are crowding $3k here.

I just got a flyer for a May sale. Fall bred heifers. I expect they’ll bring $2500 minimum for nice ones. They are state fund approved so approved producers can get subsidized. Hell, they might bring $2800 and up. Feeders are really high

But canners are sky high so that helps. Better get some of them hairy highland cattle or some auroc bulls, somethin' with some fur on they nuts!
