[QUOTE="RanchManager, post: 600348, member: 8827"] Hi, We do something similar in our small breeding groups where we only need one bull. I do it for two reasons. One is if the one bull has an issue early on that you are not aware of, like an infection in the epididymus, you might not see any outward signs, but his sperm count can be drastically affected. You might not know and find out at preg'n time. This avoids a big wreck. Yeah, it's a pain to have to go pull a bull away from his girls, but it's cheap insurance. We have all of our bulls tested just before breeding season, but there is still no guarantee a fetile bull won't develop a problem, still mount and appear active, but be a dud. Two, putting in a fresh bull that is raring to go insures a hungry active sexual appetite and a bull that is going to keep making the rounds. It's worked well for us! [/QUOTE]
