I would lean towards a bad bull. I started having mine tested annually. It is cheap compared to open cows/heifers.
As for Trich. Usually you will not have 100% open cows that are infected. You usually have shattered breeding with usually 50% being breed at the first exposure.
As for the cows/heifers. They usually have to go through 2-3 heat cycles or 120/150 days to be clear of Trich. There is vaccines that help. They require two shots 2 weeks apart. Even then you can have some still have the infection.
