I would have to ask this why did he at 5 1/2 yrs go sterile? Was it due to a injury , or gentics? I have a Aminal Sience Degree, have owned cattle for more yrs than I can remember. Haveing had 100's of bulls tested while working at a bull test station, chances are if his sperm count is low it will all ways be low. We tested a bull from a long term pure bred breeder while working in TX, he paid $25,000 for him had him 2 yrs and bingo bull went sterile. low sperm count test and test him finally the guy made up his mind and sent him to hamburger. To me it sounds like more of gentics, but dont give up until you are ready. Have you had any reports of his offspring have any of this trouble, like sons, grandsons , ect? The females are usually the carryer of this gentic marker, and she will pass it own to her sons and not allways will it show up, but when it does bingo usually the good ones have it, the duds just keep produceing.
My 2 cents worth
