For Sale: Yearlying gomer (teaser) bull born March 25, 2008. Surgery performed at the Ohio State University Veterinary Hospital. We had this bull made up in anticipation that our two year old gomer bull would need replaced due to injury. However, as it turns out he is fine and we do not need a second. This yearly was run with three heifers over the past two weeks and actively rode two who came in heat. He is ready for service. Asking $1,200. Don Smith Family, Atwater, OH 330-221-4333

The gomer has been sold. Thanks to everyone for your inquiries.
Please let us know if you have interest in a gomer bull for the summer breeding season next year. Based upon the success we had this year with utilizing a yearly for heifers early in the season and then selling him to another breeder for the remainder of the year, we would like to do the same thing again.
To extend HawkeyeNation's comments, one of the biggest advantages you'll find with a gomer bull is that he will be hanging with the cow up to a day before they begin riding. It makes heat checking more accurate and saves time as you know right where to look as soon as you hit the pasture. The family who bought this one immediately began seeing cows in heat when they were not previously. Some people say that a gomer makes cows come in heat. My guess is that perception is based more upon being able to see the gomer hanging with the cow and stirring up activity that cows alone will not exhibit, particularly when it is hot.

Actually the U of Nebraska did a study in regards to this comparing onset of estrus in cows that were bull exposed and those that were not and the bull exposed cows did come into heat sooner after calving than the non bull exposed.
