[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 331519"] From Ansci101: >>For many years the external cremaster muscle within the spermatic cord has been thought of as the principle thermoregulator of the scrotum, drawing the testes close to the abdomen when cold and relaxing when warm. However, the tunica dartos muscle at the bottom of the scrotum also responds to temperature changes and probably plays a major role in temperature regulation of the testes.. Blood flowing to the testis is cooled by adjacent venous return in a convoluted complex of vessels called the pampiniform plexus, located just dorsal to the testes.<< Emphasis from above: >> It has been shown that this latter muscle is sensitive to temperature changes only in the presence of the male hormone, testosterone<< Meaning that if your bull is free swinging at 15 degrees he MAY be low in testosterone.
