COWS RETURNING TO THE BULL If cows are returning to service, the mating records should be examined to see if any particular bull is to blame. If so, a veterinarian or Livestock Instructor of the Department of Agriculture should collect a semen sample for examination. Washing out cows seldom helps and may cause trouble if irritant fluids such as kerosene are used. It pays to consult a veterinarian as soon as the cows are noticed returning to service in unusual numbers, because the bull might be sterile or infected with disease that prevents conception of cows. Care is necessary when a replacement bull is bought, and if possible it should be a young bull that has not been used previously. A bull should never be bought in the saleyard unless his full history is known.
