Hey Ryan Back when I was farming I had the same problem you guys are having, I got 2 bulls after that and problem solved. You guys take care and be safe 👍
Problem is most of the kids going to vet school only want to vaccinate kittens... getting harder and harder to find large animal vets. They'd rather make the big bucks and have it easy working on Fluffy and Fido than doing the dirty work down on the farm... OL J R :)
This video was a great hit in my English class for Japanese veterinary students. They were fascinated to discover that the bull subsequently recovered and started breeding again (based on Ryan’s later videos); this case wasn’t a neat fit for their textbooks. Many thanks to How Farms Work for permission to play the video in class, and the students appreciated the farmer's double headache of a bull who leaves open cows in the breeding season and then breeds cows in the winter. Great to know that you’ve got the herd back on track since then.
We sold our bull yesterday due to not having strong enough pen to hold him when not with the cows; not to mention he started getting aggressive. We are leasing 2 bulls from a place out of SD this summer for our herd of 50.
Well I can definitely tell that I am 31 years old now and a lot more mature than I once was. There are so many comments that I want to make about this video but I’m just gonna say it was a really great video Ryan😂
Wisconsin Hereford Association is having their Spring Sale March 6 at the Fennimore Livestock Exchange. Get those black baldies, the high bred vigor and lower the temperament on those calves. Roughly 14 hereford bulls to choose from, from different operations.
Ryan I hope you read through these comments. Lots of high school ones but others with sound advice from people who seem to know what they are talking about!
I had a nice bull I raised from a calf... don't remember what the problem was with his mother but I ended up bottle feeding him and stuff, was gonna sell him for a feeder but he was a really nice frame bull and easy to work with, so I kept him as a yearling and he just kept looking better so I decided to keep him for a bull for the Shiner place since he was out of the Needville herd. Anyway, he was a really nice bull and for about a year did a great job... but then we came up checking cows one day and his pecker was broke bad-- it was pointed like a left turn signal and couldn't even retract, and he was dribbling discharge. It finally went back in, but his breeding days were done. SO he went to the auction... hated to see him go but when he can't do his job anymore, it's time to go. Later! OL J R :)
Got the notification at work. Got excited. Saw the title. Don't think I will be able to explain this to nosey co-workers. Guess I'll wait till I get home. 😒
So many one liners in this video i'm not even gonna start LOL. But the good News is at least you know now Brian. Nice Vet, worth their weight in gold imo.
Maybe it’s a case of the bull needing the stage to be set.......you know.....to get him in the mood.I was thinking maybe some Barry white music and soft lighting mite do the trick..
Sonne Farms has real good Black Angus bulls for sale. They are nice and tame too.They have a UA-cam channel. He has been breeding and selling bulls for 15 years.
@@calebmanuel17 yeah look at this dude trying to take my sale Brian and I agreed on a box of beer if these boys do. And for the record Sonnes have been selling angus longer then 15 years,,,,, they have been at it longer then these boys have been a green in there daddy’s eye.
This sounds like a Mike Myers film, "We shall make him talk, bring out the anal probe." In all seriousness after several years where due to blank firing rams we had a longer late lambing finally got my dad after a previous bad experience to agree to get them pretupping checked. The vet that came out was brilliant he explained the reasoning behind every from mouth to toes from size of their testicles, the consistency, to checking sheath and urethral process damage. Followed by actually showing us the count, shape and mobility after breaking out the probe for one.
Sorry for your loss Ryan. I seem to be in same boat My bulls only last 2-3 breeding seasons We breed summer for spring calves and winter for fall calves and just wear them out. Feed him corn for 30-60 days and make all hamburger out of him
I would have loved to see a pg-13 version just to see the jokes that could be made... but if they are anything like my family it would probably have to be r rated😂😂
Well there’s definitely some humor there but it also makes me learn and understand that I know the bowl could’ve had an injury just like just like humans but hopefully the rest of your calls the 15 at were bred hopefully they’re OK and hopefully you can try to get an idea which ones matter not where the problem is being caused it God knows but this gives me a new perspective on how a cattle operation works too so it’s definitely give me a different perspective with cattle specially at people or handle cattle every day I check my head off to them😂
Try to reread before you post, you seem to not know how to spell even for autocorrect, if posting have it that people “could” understand, you’ve failed totally at that with this post.
Same thing happened with my grandpa's bull he bought from 2k two years ago. He told Kevin at 2k that the bull didn't do any breeding and got a discount on his current bull from 2k before last year's sale. You might be able to do the same thing my grandpa did.
did you synchronize the cattle and AI them since ? you could have them all breed in less then 2 weeks Ryan & Travis you could buy a good use chute, you already have the tub ,then could pull blood from the a few cows and have an Idea if they are bred early as 28 days after the bull is in sorry about your bull
Bulls can go temporarily sterile if their body temp gets to high. This has happened to my brother with his herd. Caused by extreme heat a few years ago.
Yikes, if the bull had as many inches as there is snow on the ground he would not be called Hamburger. Bad news to hear, but such is farming. Travis was cracking up back there 🤣
Sorry to hear about your bull, and i just realized that if you got a bull to breed open cows they would calf end of November and thats to young to go thru winter, so good luck this summer.
Sonne Farms has some bulls, you could go by some dairy angus cross calves in the spring and raise them to get your calf numbers up. I don’t know if that’s a big thing in the Midwest but it’s a big thing in Washington that’s what we bread on our dairy here in Washington.
I agree with a few others here and you should reach out to Sonne farms, Cole runs the channel but his dad Brian is the one to contact for purchasing bulls, they mention where to contact them for a bull in the past couple recent videos.
"guy gets hit in the junk and there's not much point in living anymore"🤣
and the reward? sent to the packing plant,,,,
FINALLY FOUND A JOB THAT PUTS A SMILE ON TRAVIS'S FACE...LOL
Good content. This is what I expect from a channel called "How Farms Work." Thumbs up!
This must be the commercial level electrojac, not the home consumer model 😂
Well yeah, it's the "6"
None of that flimsy "3" model.
Dr. Sally Harper is awesome, what a great vetrinarian!!!
Hey Ryan Back when I was farming I had the same problem you guys are having, I got 2 bulls after that and problem solved. You guys take care and be safe 👍
Anyone who thinks being a vet means vaccinating kittens should watch this video.
The real life of a rural veterinarian.
Dr. Pol on NatGeo :) (or Discovery, I don't remember)
@@kladpapier NatGeo Wild is the channel Dr. Pol is on, along with Heartland Docs.

Congratulations, you guys on keeping the junior high school humor to a minimum. I bet she gets a little tired of it from some guys. :)
😂 "Man this is a hard video" no pun intended.
Now THIS is why UA-cam was created!
The jokes you guys wanted to make but couldn’t to keep it family friendly. 😂😂
The intent was there. That's all that counts. 😂 😂
That bull will follow Travis around like a puppy dog from now on
I saw ElectroJac 6 and was like: Yup, he's getting body fluid samples today from the bull lmaoo
We sold our bull yesterday due to not having strong enough pen to hold him when not with the cows; not to mention he started getting aggressive. We are leasing 2 bulls from a place out of SD this summer for our herd of 50.
Remarkable. I never saw this on Dr. Pol.
As a guy I cringed during this one. Lol Travis cracking up over the bulls leg was awesome.
"I don't see your leg kicking"
That's the first time I've ever seen travis smile, lol.
The cost for doing this including travel, equipment, expertise and time seems incredibly low.
"I don't see your leg kickin" HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Unfortunate but glad u had a vet knowing what she was talking about you will get through this
Well I can definitely tell that I am 31 years old now and a lot more mature than I once was. There are so many comments that I want to make about this video but I’m just gonna say it was a really great video Ryan😂
Exactly what I was thinking...

Herefords, the one breed for every need.
Travis isn't happy he didn't get checked lol
Halarious, Travis trying to make small talk while holding the EJ6. We were losing it😂🤣
"The unfortunate Story of a Bull" should be the title
That's a first for me. Never saw that done before. But glad you found out the problem.
Gee Golly Willikers!! And I thought it was bad when the doctor put BOTH hands on my shoulders! :-)
The least you could have done is have a picture of a cute cow for him to look at.
Yeah. All he had was dad standing there. That can't help.😂
Ryan I hope you read through these comments. Lots of high school ones but others with sound advice from people who seem to know what they are talking about!
Couldn't they come up with a better name?! ElectroJACK?? My immaturity runs strong with this one.

One can't help but think of VIAGRA as a possible remedy ....
not when your shooting blanks. The Bull will likely be sent to the butcher.

Time for a Sonne Farms bull.
I’ve been watching you for so long, I feel like I work on your farm 😂 love it

Hey. Try timed AI And then throw one bull in to do the cleanup.
At least you found out the bull was broken. That can be fixed. Hopefully you have better luck with your bulls in the future.

The song “Harper valley PTA” came to mind when you were talking about all that at the beginning haha
The guy parked up on the hill is probably looking at that beautiful sunset.
I'm thinking that the "E.L." character from "Road Trip" would want to try that device out.
You're getting all the snow, we don't have that much up in Eau Claire.

"Broke his member off"
oof.
Spring Creeks Cattle have a bull sale Sunday Feb. 14th in Fennimore Limousin, Angus , and lim-flex
Just a suggestion the cow you had is kicking real hard I would sell her just as a precaution so maybe that fixes your problem
Wow that is interesting. Never heard of testing a bull like that. Well at least now you know it's not your cows that is the problem
Great Vlog, great review of testing the bull and investigating reasons why so many cows were empty, thanks for sharing
Well there’s definitely some humor there but it also makes me learn and understand that I know the bowl could’ve had an injury just like just like humans but hopefully the rest of your calls the 15 at were bred hopefully they’re OK and hopefully you can try to get an idea which ones matter not where the problem is being caused it God knows but this gives me a new perspective on how a cattle operation works too so it’s definitely give me a different perspective with cattle specially at people or handle cattle every day I check my head off to them😂

l've been getting a lot of snow too and the Weatherman says that sunday or monday I get another inch of snow.
That is kinky! I think I want to be a bull! Is Dr. Sally cute?!
I never seen a cow hurt a bull good video very informative thanks
Thats the first time I heard Travis lol before
coleman limousin ranch in charlo montana will be having there annual bull sale tuesday april 6th. they have top notch bulls.
did you synchronize the cattle and AI them since ? you could have them all breed in less then 2 weeks
Ryan & Travis you could buy a good use chute, you already have the tub ,then could pull blood from the a few cows and have an Idea if they are bred early as 28 days after the bull is in
sorry about your bull
Of course, a hell of a at a T-Bone by sticking my head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather the butcher's word for .
In England we just use a in season heifer and when they just on there back we insert him into the sleeve
"Are his eyes crossed yet?" 🤣
That's too bad about your bull , having two bulls is a really good idea , used to run two bulls with 40 cows ,it worked out really well

Yikes, if the bull had as many inches as there is snow on the ground he would not be called Hamburger.
Bad news to hear, but such is farming.
Travis was cracking up back there 🤣
"I don't see your leg kickin." lol
Asking a 2 year old bull to cover 39 cows on open pasture was futile anyway. A 2 year old can cover about 20 head. Maybe 25. But not 39.
I guess he over exerted himself to the point he lost function 😱
Must be Rosie is kicking them! :)
Sorry to hear about your bull, and i just realized that if you got a bull to breed open cows they would calf end of November and thats to young to go thru winter, so good luck this summer.
Did I hear you ask your dad if it’s true about getting old ?
Good video Ryan
Must be one of the most adequately named products ever made.
Don’t know about his eyes Travis, mine are in a knot now. 😜. ‘Whooooooooosh incoming’ 😂😂😂😂🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
Glad experience was a learning experience for Dad! NOT my turn!

Interesting to see a farm vet work. Too bad about the bull. Be well.
Good to hear you have an answer
Great Video Man! Best Channel! Keep Up The Good Work!
Ryan great content glad to see ya found issue
You must feel like the guy in the commercial that's throwing his money out the window. That was a kick in the ? Ouch!
We used to have cattle. If you are in business long enough you’ll see everything.
Thanks, this a good education video. I have been in that same boat. Few understand if you miss that window, how far backwards it sets you!
You could rent a bull from Strommen in Blanchardville
Gotta say this was the most disturbing video ive ever watched 🤣🤣
Please explain the economics of his impotence not being at the sales barn this week ?
Shes real good at it...
Great video Ryan
Sonne Farms South Dakota sells bulls yearlings Good quality stock. Not sure of you distance
Where can I get one of those machines! That sounds great.
My wife uses one on me
