    i recently purchased a young charlois bull in a private sale so their were no gaurantees etc but money was small anyway just wondering does anybody know how you can test your bull for fertility apart from watching ur cows on their cycles or getting them scanned and how long do you have to wait from day of bulling to when this would show up on a scan as a pregnancy?

    Thanks

    Earliest you can scan is about 30 days. Vets should be able to test bull for fertility.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
