Evaluating serving capacity of yearling beef bulls - A field trial

Boyd, G.; Corah, L.
Results from two trials showed that serving capacity (SC) can be

successfully evaluated in yearling beef bulls under field conditions and is

influenced by sire line (P<.01). Also, providing sexual experience to low SC

yearling bulls can improve SC and should be a standard part of the test. Scrotal

circumference and breeding soundness examination scores, both traditional

measures of bull fertility, were unrelated to SC.
