new young bulls can take a bit of persuading. have you an older bull? let him watch an older bull with a cow that's a bulling
or pen him with 2 cows that are a bulling, as they ride round he might work out his role in life

Send him to bible school and get them to pray the gay away!!!

Does he run with cows or are you penning him up with individual cows? If he's running with cows I'd put money on him working when you don't see him. I had the same with a bull a few years back and had lots of calves 9 months after we got him.

That worked with me, my dad made me watch porn films so I'd know what it was all about [emoji6]

He's out grazing but shows no interest when one is on season , he's not even messing with them

 

[Happy at it]

Had similar here but was down in the test so he coulnt go back, worked with him taking cows to him for 4months with no improvement, then went as beef. I don't think I would wait as long if it happened again....

Your vet can do a semen test on him. Might be worth a try.

 

[Davy]

Aye but what use is he no matter how good his semen is if he doesn't ride them. Pen him up with a buller to see if he shows any interest. Times a wasting so if he doesn't soon figure it out you may swap him for another.

Typical millenial.
, Not sure who he is.

Tell the breeder, he may be happy to replace him, 16months does sound young to be big enough for cows though.

We work out about that age or younger but they have to be pushed hard and they get very tired very quickly. Too risky for us to keep them any older due to temperament

Pushed hard then worked? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Arnt bulls best left to grow out naturally?

He's being replaced tomorrow, as for size ,he's a similar height to my cows
