[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1599110, member: 968"] I have never heard that implants cause "bullers" so I researched it. The only thing I came up with is: http://pods.dasnr.okstate.edu/docushare/dsweb/Get/Document-10027/ANSI-3290web.pdf [b]Animal Health[/b] [i]Implants are suspected to directly cause, or be associated with, several undesirable changes in animals. Responses normally associated with reproductive processes are observed in heifers, including signs of estrus, vaginal or rectal prolapses, development of the udder and other problems. Implants may increase the incidence of bullers in steers. Bullers are steers that will stand to be mounted similar to the behavior of a cow in estrus. However, it is thought that bulling is caused by a physiological defect in the animal and implants merely exacerbate this condition.
