This DVD shows the techniques for selecting replacement sires, and depicts what you need to check:

  • head, body and testicle size;
  • correct conformation - angles, legs, back, shoulders;
  • how the bull walks away from you, towards you, and past you;
  • the bull's willingness to serve the cow;
  • whether there are any foot problems which may be caused by underlying ailments.

By carefully assessing and using the information given, you should be able to find a sire which will improve your overall herd, for example in the following characteristics:

  • growth rate;
  • calving ease and maternal attributes, such as milk production;
  • carcase attributes.

 

Also available in video format.
