Rumor was that some of these bulls were having trouble producing semen and could be a price raise or shortage of these bulls ....Just wondering if anybody else had heard anything ....
Freddy our CRI rep told me Upward did not produce for 6 months but is now back in production as for the others don't know but Final Answer is getting on a bit.
Upward was at Genex in Strafford yesterday when I was there with my students. Steve did mention that a lot of bulls were not giving good quality because of our hot, late summer and sometimes it takes 90 days for bulls to recover. He said until just this last week, they were tossing more semen than freezing!
Upward was not producing last fall and his semen got up to $200 some places but then he started freezing again and he was back down to 40. Final Answer is producing but at almost 12 he can't keep up with the demand. His semen has gone up to 40 and there is a waiting list of orders for him if you want some by spring you better get on the list for him now
