[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 878655, member: 7398"] Well, if you want spring calves and don't want them bred now, there's only one way to go with this . . . . cows to the sale barn. Just got $1000 for a 1500 lb open cow myself. I was kinda upset to lose the young cow, but that sure soothed the wound. Everyone open means it was the bull . . . . unless . . . . a fella in my area lost his whole calf crop to BVD brought in by deer (his cattle weren't vaccinated). Final option - heat in the summer can stress bull's testicles (or testicular infection or injury). He may have semen now, but didn't when he "bred" the cows. Saw that happen on another farm. Depending on location - breed em and sell em as fall calvers. Good luck. Sorry. If I were your bull supplier, I'd offer to replace the bull to retain a good customer, but it's hard to pin the "fault" on the bull if he tested potent. [/QUOTE]
