The breeding season is not far away. It is time to tick off a few management issues/questions;
- Have the breeding bulls wintered okay?
- Check for lame bulls or bulls that may have health issues.
- Do bulls need copper, selenium or both (these elements are important for good semen production and bull fertility).
- Do you need to get bulls tested? (semen or mating ability).
- Annual BVD vaccinations need to be done.
- Do you have sufficient bulls (for dairy farmers at least 1 for every 30 cows not in calf at the end of AI)?
