[QUOTE="Dylan Biggs, post: 814479, member: 14282"] Very true, we have used a number of different vets over the years. Lucky to have had the services of a couple of vets who speacialized in BSE's and compared to some other mixed practice vets for whom BSE's are a side line there can be a big difference in the thoroughness of the exam. One aspect of an exam that I have seen a number of vets let slide when they have difficulty getting a full protrusion is a complete visual penile inspection. The bull may give a good semen sample that looks good under the microscope but because of the lack of the visual penile inspection a number of potential problems can go unobserved that can render the bull a non breeder. In addition, any time one is reyling on the breeding ability of a single sire, it is critical to observe and confirm ASAP the ability of the sire to mount and successfully service cows. [/QUOTE]
