[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 647213, member: 245"] Well, #1 How old was this bull? 35 cows is probably too many for a yearling bull. I wouldn't feel comfortable putting a yearling bull in with much more than 20 cows his first year. #2 I assume the bull passed his BSE, so therefore, it could be one of two things. Either he has low libido and just isn't interested in breeding cows or possibly, a cow twisted under him early on in the breeding season and maybe hurt him. It doesn't take much to turn those young bulls off breeding especially if they get hurt trying to breed a cow early on. Most reputable breeders will give you credit for whatever you paid for the bull towards another bull. Myself, I would keep the best of the cows and sell the rest as the price of hamburger cows isn't terrible right now and then maybe buy some heavy bred cows and get a new bull. JMHO. Good Luck.
