Spotted the young bull I bought last June with a wart on his rod a few weeks back and it's gone so big now that he can't pull in the top of his rod and I'm going to have to get a vet to remove it. Not sure if he will be any good for breeding after it. Herding today then and the old bull has pneumonia however he managed to get it. Empty, ears hanging, panting and snotty, hopefully he will be alright. Auld lad drove through them on the quad this morning and never copped him whatever he was looking at.

Also they inevitably get pulled out and thrown on the ground and they are a huge tripping hazard. An anti backing type device would be much much safer. I think it was a disgrace with the safety scheme that the minimum limit was set so high. If it was around €500, alot more farmers would have applied and bought small things like this that would have made a bigger more practical impact.
