[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 852440, member: 5106"] OK if I got this right he was not tested by you before you sent him out this year after winter, which does make alarms go off. Also heat is does effect a bulls scrotum's ,they have no way of heating or cooling like a cow does so he may have them hanging as low as possible right now to keep as cool as possible, so they could appear smaller than they infact are . As far as being pushed ,he probably was as a yearling from the breeders to get 45 at 15 months ,however not definitively as ,Final Score a Gv bull of mine only on hay, measured 41 at 15 months. But, if they are pushed then it is sometimes fat deposits that measure high and when they age and are not pushed the fat deposits decrease so the scrotal will as well. I think testing him asap is your best possible scenario at this point and go from there. As well as testing every bull each year before sending them out if you have freezing temps to deal with . Best of luck and keep us updated . [/QUOTE]
