Checking a cow's prostate is a load of bull.
Why is it so important to give bulls health exams?
Identification of the bull is essential. Obviously a hide brand, or ear tattoo is better than ear tags for positive identification. If you have a controversial case, take a photograph.
A physical exam is important in determining if a bull will be able to adequately breed. A bull's body condition must be good at the BSE, because a bull will lose condition during the breeding season. If he starts too thin, he may not be in good enough condition later on to breed cows.
The bull's locomotion system must be good as he needs to get to cows to breed them. Poor conformation can contribute to lameness, which obviously contribute to breeding problems.
Test the bull's vision, as bulls identify estrual cows by sight, not by smell. If a bull cannot see, he will not find the cows in estrus.
Look at the teeth. A bull needs to eat in order to stay fit enough to breed. You can also age a bull by his teeth.
Look carefully at the sheath for its conformation. It should basically point at the ground between the bulls front feet (except for the last bit on the tip). Check it carefully for an abscess, eversion, or prolapse. If these conditions appear during a BSE, the bull will probably not last the breeding season.

Crap. I wonder what the return policy is on the bull I just bought. Who knew blind and a badly conformed sheath weren't so good.
