General health will affect fertility of bulls, says vet

Paul Redmond from Duntahane Veterinary Clinic, Fermoy, says that checking up on the healths of your bulls needs to be a top priority.

One evening towards the end of last July, a client of ours rang with a note of concern in his voice.

The previous November he had been thrilled at the sale of his 10-month-old champion simmental bull. Now, at the end of July, the purchaser contacted him proclaiming the bull to be infertile.
