  • If this is the ElectroJac 6, I'd hate to see what 1-5 look like. Technology has come a long way! The electroejaculator stimulates the bull allowing for collection of semen samples.

    How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a CZcams channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
    How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

    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.

    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 :)

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.
