One of our herds is composed of 32 mature 5-8 yr old cows and 1 bull. The bull I used last spring was a 3 1/2 yr old angus. I've had the bull since he was a yearling and had always had him paired with another older bull in our larger herd, and have never had any calving problems. I turned him out with this smaller herd last May, and to date I only have 12 calfs. I pregnancy checked 12 of the cows that haven't calved this weekend and 2 were open and the rest were bred but still had around 60-90 days.. this sucks!!
I'm going to take the bull to be semen checked this week. I hope that that is the problem and not a herd health issue like lepto..

Out of curiosity, did you get a BSE last year before you turned him out?
 
Yep..and now I'm tied up with hay and bush hogging not to mention a full time job and kids with baseball.. some days farming is nothing but a pain in the @$$!
..but I just thought about OK and what the folks there are going through and I thank God for all my blessings
