[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1851670, member: 25884"] Shipped the 1600 lb young bull that had a scrotal hernia.... loop of intestine down into the scrotum along side one testicle... not common but the vet said he had seen one... could be fixed with surgery but not worth the cost with what bulls are bringing... He brought 1.35/lb... check was over $2100 AFTER commissions... Thing was, we had been using him and had some opens from one place... then put him in with some others, it didn't look all that big then, just a little "lopsided".... and when we realized it was bad enough... and he did not pass his BSE obviously... although they did not even do a semen test... we were figuring we would have 22 opens from the other group he was with... well, there were only 7 open... so he was still getting some bred. Vet said at preg check that the colder temps helped to keep more sperm viable, and that the other side was working pretty good... so we lucked out... they are strung out from 3 mo down to 35 days bred... but we will have calves out of him... Trying a Gelbvieh to increase some size... friend that got the other gelbvieh has calves on the ground as he needed a bull right then... and really likes them... so hoping we will get some decent ones from this one. Had a great disposition.....but we didn't lose any money on him as we bought the 2 from a friend selling down from 100 cows to 30 and he kept his angus bull.... [/QUOTE]
