I've raised cattle for 40 years but need some help.
I've currently got four breeding age bulls. The one in question was raised by me and AI'ed here on the farm. He is a registered direct son of Final Answer and I had him verified viable at a year. He is currently about two and a half. I have had calves out of him although he was used as a cleanup his first year so the numbers aren't huge.
I had seventeen prime cows that didn't calve this spring that were with him. Ten of them were exposed twice and were young the first time so I figured they didn't cycle and were due in the fall.
I just preg checked the other seven and they are all open. Odds I don't have. I am going to sort out the other 10 and check them tomorrow.
Here are my dilemmas: all of my cows are virgin stock and I buy bulls as calves and raise them. I have no neighboring herds. I doubt that he would have gotten trich but I am going to pull him and test him to see. A friend was telling me about a coyote-borne VD in cows that renders them sterile. I just found out about it so I haven't gotten a chance to read up on it but he says that it is within counties from me. It is transported through urine or feces supposedly. Have any of you heard of this? If that's it I am looking at who knows how many sterile cows and heifers that are not yet of breeding age. Upwards of 75. Does anyone have any knowledge about it? I'm kind of hoping for my pricey bull to be bad. It would be easier to start breeding back with others.
If it is trich how long does it take a cow to slough it off?
