[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 12182"] There are a few different reasons why the bull didn't produce enough semen to bother testing. One would be poor testicular development, which you would be able to see and feel. One could be infection, which you can test for. Or blocked epididymis from infection or trauma. Or lack of libido... or pain on ejaculation from spomdylosis (usually found in older bulls...) There are likely lots of things I haven't thought of, but I'm quite tired and have jet lag. My recommendation would be to figure out which is likely and go from there. Most if not all are PERMANENT and would necessitate culling the bull. Buy a bull from a breeder with a GUARANTEE for breeding soundness. Any questions, just ask! Good Luck! V [/QUOTE]
