There are multiple advantages of testing the fertility of your bulls. The health of your sires must be a priority. Looking out for deformities such as genital warts, cork screw and broken penis are vital for decision making.

Character traits of the bulls and providing documentation of the health, fertility and character of your bulls for your herd management and the best sale price for your bulls. In collecting and evaluating we use a top of the range electoejaculation tool. This tool is used worldwide for obtaining semen samples and is safe and reliable with minimal distress to the bull. Along with this modern equipment we can offer very experienced, professional, friendly and attentive service.

Included in the evaluation we provide:

1. Examination of the testicles
2. Examination of penis
3. Motility percentage
4. Abnormalities appearing
5. Soundness/Lameness or injury
6. BCS
7. Report of results

We will pass or fail a bull based on this information and provide you with a full report on our findings.
