I did a search on the subject hoping not to have to show my ignorance but although I found the topic mentioned several times, I didn't find an actual description.
I made a deal with my mentor to borrow a young bull to breed to my eight heifers. In return, I pasture the bull, 3 cows and 2 calves for the summer. I believe the bull has covered 6 of my girls so far and one of my mentor's cows. Last evening as I was checking on them, I noticed the bull's penis out about 5 inches and bent to the side about 3 inches up. He later retracted it and seemed to be having no problems.
Is this a broken penis? I'm going to call the owner and have him come take a look but thought I would check in with you all first rather than embarrass myself by pointing out something that may be normal. The last cow I saw him trailing (although I didn't see him actually mount) was not one of mine.
