[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16313"] ANY bull intended for breeding needs a breeding soundness exam (BSE) by a veterinarian. That is the ONLY way you will know whether or not this bull is fertile. The retained testicle probably won't produce any viable sperm due to the higher temperatures associated with its location in the body. The other testicle may or may not be able to produce viable sperm. If you are ever tempted to keep any of his progeny, bear in mind cryptorchid is a highly heritable genetic fault. > I have purchased a 10 month old > angus bull calf intending to breed > my two cows this spring, and fill > my freezer in the fall.
