[QUOTE="branxchar&charx, post: 1694108, member: 436"] I definitely appreciated everyone responses and gave me some good questions to ask the vet. Several issues: Bull was not having it being tested. Vet unable to get a sample and he tried awhile. Vet asked how thin the cows were we purchased them this winter. They were thin, some moreso than others but overall, a few weeks of hay and feed they got to looking way better. He asked if they were salebarn cows. We bought from a private ranch but a couple cows have several different brands, so vet immediately hollered at his helpers "run the bull back through and get a trich test." Results: negative. They aged him at 7 years. Vet said most likely condition set the cows back but tbh, i have my reservations. He asked if we had mineral, said that should be good. He said he wasnt going to call the bull bad (inconclusive as no sample) but if we could, to put another bull in just in case. Preg checked 6 cows calved mar-apr (stil pretty early for a more accurate preg check). 1 vet was going to call open but said it felt like she was 35-42 day range. Sent off blood test, positive, in calf. 1 cow calved in January. He called her 2+ The other 4, all open. So looks like I'm going to be bull shopping.haha [/QUOTE]
