Fertility is the foundation of profitability in any cow-calf operation—and in this episode of Casual Cattle Conversations, Shaye Wanner is joined by Jennifer Koziol to talk about everything producers need to know about bull fertility. They break down the importance of breeding soundness exams, the difference between subfertility and infertility, and how genetics, nutrition, and stress affect a bull's ability to perform.
You’ll also hear valuable tips on managing young bulls, making smart bull-buying decisions, and working with veterinarians to set your herd up for success.
