Abstract
Breeding Soundness Evaluations (BSEs) are a useful tool to improve rep roductive performance and profitability in beef herds. Veterinarians p roviding this service must be thorough in their evaluation, especially in yearling bulls. The 1993 Society for Theriogenology guidelines for BSE provide appropriate standards for classifying yearling bulls; vet erinarians are advised to adhere to these standards as minimums for cl assification of the satisfactory potential breeder.
