[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 965528, member: 968"] As mentioned, that was a major problem for the breed. They actually had a "breeders' guidebook" recommending not to keep anything a bull unless he had 34cm or larger testicle size at yearling. They explained that there were way too many yearling heifers that were not getting bred & being culled. Small testicle bulls produce low/late fertility females. The breed has a SC EPD, so progressive breeders have been improving that problem - along with a docility EPD - improving their temperaments. [/QUOTE]
