[QUOTE="jhambley, post: 437657, member: 1535"] As KNERSIE related, my vet didn't want to semen test my bull as he wanted to fail him on size alone from a chart he had in his toolbox stating: "Under 15 months old 30 cm minimum" I asked him to test him any way and he scored off the charts but the vet still failed him because he only measured 29 cm. This bull was forage raised (no grain) and coming out of a hard snowy winter. That chart the vet was using used no other criteria other than age. I have to believe body condition, frame score, breed, play some role in the determination of a good measurement. I just had him remeasured at 16 months and he measured 33 cm.
