[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 565484, member: 6198"] If i had the bull at the vets i would get him tested for PI BVD and IBR. That would be my first course of action if i were to think on keeping him as a bull. But in all honesty, there are enough good bulls out there that do not cost a fortune. This fella could have fertility problems due to his high temperatures. As well, with that much fluid for that long, he would be more seceptable to sickness later on. Not worth the risk considering you have to make money on the calves to stay in business. And if the cows end up open in the fall, hard to make $, hard to pay the bills. And if you were planning to sell this bull to someone for their breeding herd, you would have some explaining to do if he was a PI bull infecting cows, causing abortions or sickly claves Not to mention if he continueally ended up sick for some reason or another or if the buyer had a pile of open cows in the fall...worth the risk to soil a good name? Namely yours? Not in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
