Will Your Bulls Be Ready Come Turnout Time? with Jeff Erquiaga
Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you!
We all know bulls have a very important job on our operations. We are starting to see some light at the end of the winter tunnel, but many states had some extreme cold this winter. What does that mean for bull fertility? What do you need to do to make sure your bulls are ready when breeding season starts?
Kasey sat down with Dr. Jeff Erquiaga to discuss considerations you should keep in mind during bull sale season and beyond.
They chat about:
How frostbite affects bulls and for how long
What you need to know about a breeding soundness exam, and when you should test
Contingency plans if a bull fails an exam
Questions you should ask your seedstock supplier
Where a test needs to happen
Much more
