All bulls will be semen tested, visually evaluated, and will have scrotal measurements taken with a written soundness report provided to the producer.
Bulls will be tentatively scheduled by appointment when
producers call or go online to pre-register, and tested on a first come first
serve basis once they arrive. Bulls may be brought in the afternoon prior, but
only if special arrangements are made in advance.
All Trich test bulls must be tested first on Thursday morning!

Annual Breeding Soundness Exam Days for producers are hosted in conjunction with local veterinarians at different locations and times throughout the year. These events allow producers to bring bulls in for assessment of their health and reproductive potential prior to the breeding season. Veterinarians perform a breeding soundness exam, general physical exam, and offer both vaccinations and testing for trichomoniasis.
