Not wanting to hi-jack the aggressive bull thread, so will start this one.
Has anyone noticed or thought about disposition of a bull and if it relates to fertility?
Is a docile bull less fertile?
Is an aggressive bull overly fertile or just an idiot?
Of course there's a happy medium. He can be fertile and mind his own business. I'm asking about the ones of either side of the bell curve. I've had bulls that like human attention and have wondered if they are less fertile, or less interested in breeding because they like to be scratched. Then the ones like the aggressive bull thread is discussing. He'll jump every fence in 4 counties to breed cows and attack anything/anyone who gets in his way.
With bulls, is docility antagonistic to fertility?
