We did our semen testing today on my yearling GV bulls, I have posted about them before and as well as pics. These guys were raised in drought conditions and were on green feed only until the last month where I added a couple of pounds a day of barley to their diet as I am running out of feed.
Anyways, The oldest Maximus the Moderator son scrotal was 40 cm's. The next my herd bull's son who is a Freedom fog son was 38.5 cm and the youngest who is out of a Moderator dam was 41 cm :shock: .. All tested great as far as semen ,will get final results tomorrow. Our vet was very impressed as he said you could tell that were not pushed hard at all but were well muscled and had really good SC measurements..
I am pleased , it looks like I might be headed in the right direction after all.. ;-)
I sure wish I could have kept a few more bulls last year as there were some really nice ones that I decided to cull due to the drought but I think I did pick the top 3 of the group..
Oh and it is pouring rain as well these last few hours.. :banana:
