[QUOTE="bigag03, post: 1007886, member: 9247"] Actually, Scrotal Circumference has been shown to be correlated to age of puberty in daughters. This is a common misconception that occurs with this trait. With many breeders pushing heifers to calve a 2 years of age, daughters of smaller scrotal bulls can be observed as being subfertile because they had not reached puberty early enough to get bred. In a program where those heifers were not required to calve until 2 1/2 to 3 years of age, it is likely that no difference in breeding rate or "fertility" would be noticed. [/QUOTE]
