I am raising a bull that is ideal for my purposes, so far. He is just about a year old and is developing nicely. As with any bull he is not perfect. He has about a 30 degree twist to his scrotum. The vet said it probably would not affect his breeding. He does not know if it is a genetic fault or of something else may have caused it.
His future use would be to raise heifers that would be used for production of F1's. The F1's would be commercial cattle raising terminal calves. No future bulls would be produced from him.
The question is, Is the twisted scrotum enough reason to cull him or keep growing him out? Of course he would have to pass a breeding soundness exam when he is old enough.
