From the Field breeding females in the first 45 days , helping to shorten the calving interval creating a more consistent set of calves . The production of high quality viable semen is paramount but even if tested well one day be sure to watch for cows and heifers coming back into heat , says Kansas State University Veterinary Professor , Nora Schrag , DVM . While preforming soundness exams on yearling bulls keep in mind that while most bulls pass semen test , some bulls do not reach full maturity until closer to 14 months of age . A breeding soundness exam also allows for the identification of any kind of physical defects that may keep a bull from breeding . Checking eyes , testicles and other reproductive glands for infection , injury or frostbite damage is pertinent . While primarily affecting bulls one useful tool to many producers that are retaining their own heifers is a pelvic score measurement assisting to find top end replacement females . These procedures and tests , although not perfect , are a very useful tool in helping producers to make the most out of their genetic investments .
These tools and procedures are simple and can help to make sure that the high quality Limousin genetics , that I have been fortunate
enough to represent and promote with LIMOUSIN TODAY advertising programs , will have a larger impact upon the industry as a whole .
I look forward to seeing and meeting more of you and if you still need a bull , female or that special genetic package , check out this special Herd Sire Edition and feel free to call with any questions .
God bless and good luck ! I
