[QUOTE="BARNSCOOP, post: 648000, member: 7032"] I purchased this bull when he was 6 months old. He turned one year on February 4th. I had him in with cows that were ready to calve but after the calving started he stole milk from two of the cows so yesterday after the vet visit I put him in with the steers. All the cattle have free choice loose minerals all the time and they are fed a mixed grain feed (20 gallons to 13 head daily) just so I can see them everyday. It does contain 11.07% whole cottonseed. The steers are fed free choice grain. The BSE reads: Body condition-good(6), scrotal circumference-35, motility gross-good, motility individual-75, normal cells-32, primary abnormalities-56, secondary abnormalities-12, and all the other references are good . they gave him a classification deferred until June. I need a bull in June. The breeder has offered to give me a calf of my choice or my moneyback if the next test is bad. I have never seen any signs he could have had a fever. The vet did not take his temp. What minerals can you give them to boost sperm count? I believe it is quality sperm I need, it seems his amount is good. [/QUOTE]
