Abstract:

Breeding-soundness evaluations are a common tool in the beef industry to test a bull’s potential fertility. These evaluations place a bull into one of three categories: satisfactory, unsatisfactory, or deferred. These categories only refer to the bull at a specific time, and his status can and will change over time. The purpose of this report is to explain and demonstrate the changes in a bull’s breeding- soundness evaluations during a breeding season.
