[QUOTE="neilo, post: 4916394, member: 348"] We used vasectomised bulls for a couple of years in a dairy herd. Just beef x dairy bull calves that were kept back for the job, then sold fat after a couple of years. They did a good job initially but seemed to get bored of the job (one teaser running with 250 cows on AYR calving). Too much of a good thing perhaps? Running two seemed to pep up their interest, but then they'd get tussling if there weren't many bulling. Best bet was to keep replacing with a younger one when the others got lazy (and fat on dairy grass). Gave up on it after about 5 years though, and went to collars. [/QUOTE]
