Bull not performing

[topground]

It suits my system to bring bulling suckers to the bull rather than running the bull,out in the ground.
I have a Bull born April 2019, worked this time last year who is no longer interested in serving cows. His grandfather Givendale Louis was only available briefly from Cogent, I can only surmise this might have been because he wouldn’t jump. This bull shows interest from a distance but won’t perform when the cow is turned in with him. A yearling bull has successfully served the cows the older lad didn’t fancy.
I doubt there is a bovine version of viagra available so unless a social media campaign highlighting his fate as a poofter and leads to a substantial offer to rehome him he will be burgers shortly. Anyone have any ideas about getting him working?

Let him in with the other bull see if bit off competition brings it out of him aslong as there not likely kill each other

Maybe he identifies as a cow and gender reassignment should be considered stick that on a crowd funding page and you could buy a cracking bull with the proceeds!

The problem is he is a cracking bull with a good temperament, hence asking what might sort him out!

Some folk with the facilities and inclination would make him into semen straws and go on an AI course.

Alternatively, there will be animal behaviorists somewhere, possibly in the USA, who might offer some dietary advice. A few whiskies does wonders for me. What about a few tins of John Bull??????

Or a good anti-inflammatory injection just before introducing the next cow in season, to lull any joint or back pain he might experience when serving a cow.

I wonder if he would get the job done if you just left him with the cows, some bulls you don't see working but the cows are in calf

 

[M-J-G]

In the AI centres, if they have a lazy jumper they put him in a pen where he can see other bulls being jumped as it tends to get the rest of the bulls pretty keen.
You may not have another bull, but a steer or another cow jumping where he can see it, may help get him interested.

As has been suggested, I'd give him a non steroidal anti inflammatory, it would take 12 and more likely 24 hours before a meloxicam based drug would be making much difference.

He's not a good bull if he won't serve anything he's just a fancy steer...

there is some stuff yer can get from the vet. can't recall the name but has a nice peppermint taste

had a bull here never seen him work but always got all cows in calf put some rub off type paint on him and leave in over night. maybe a bit shy with the lights on

I have an 8 year old Louis Son here and I've been terrified before that I'm not seeing him working, even with cows bulling around him, but had everything bar 1 cow settled last year and 71% in first 6 weeks which is good for us. Dont know if its in his breeding or he's had them served before the visible signs I am seeing, but this is the 3rd year of it. Always watching for cows returning mind you, and your system is different to ours.

is the floor slippery or something perhaps or has he been thumped by another bull or cow when working ? try some tail paint or chalk
