What breed is this bull? Different breeds reach puberty at different ages for instance Angus bulls reach puberty at approximately 295 days. In addition, puberty is defined as the age at which a bull is first able to produce an ejaculate containing 50 million sperm with a minimum of 10% motility (capable of motion). Most bulls are not ready for siring until 15 months of age. Yearling scrotal circumference is a good indicator of a bull's ability to produce sperm. I would recommend a Breeding Soundness Exam at 12 months old to determine if he is capable of being a good sire. However, Semen tests results for young bulls may not be conclusive. A poor semen test on a bull less than 15 months of age is not a reliable indicator that the bull will have poor quality semen. Seminal qualities may improve dramatically for up to 4 months following puberty. Breeding Soundess Exams are not that expensive.
