We worked cattle the other day and had the vet test the bull for breeding soundness. The vet said the bull was at 25%. During the test the bull was shaking and went down in the chute-hadn't seen that before. The 33 month old bull sired 11 calves for us last year with 9 calving in 22 days and the other 2 a month later.
The bull had a snotty nose for a couple of weeks and runny poop that a fecal exam did show some parasites.
We leased a bull for now. I'm wondering if I should have him retested later or ship him to be processed.
What do y'all think?
