[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 1238644, member: 6713"] With all due respect you are wrong. It is good until he has a catastrophic event in his life that would preclude him breeding a cow effectively... Case in point; my bull that got sick after our PAP testing program produced an incredible amount of viable sperm but only 15% were swimming. He had had 2 shots of dex in 10 days and a 104 fever. What we found out was that he was not fertile that day HOWEVER all other things considered the Vet felt that if we check him in 45 days he will be 80% or more motility...and I will BEFORE I ever let him go home with anyone, because I don't sell bargains and don't want to deal with those looking to buy bargains, cuz sooner or later somebody's gonna pay. Second scenario...the OP buys this bull knowing absolutely nothing about him and does not do the test............he still knows absolutely nothing about him....he does do the test and he tests just like my bull...he still knows nothing about him except that he came cheap and is not fertile enough to pass the test....... ....and yes it is possible to go broke buying bargains. worst case scenario $50 ranch call + $50 BSE....$100 dollar insurance policy vs the los of income for 7 to 10 cows @ $1500 per calf...........buy that's a tuff call if I ever saw one.
