[QUOTE="Beef Man, post: 809544, member: 13859"] Sometimes,when banding these bulls a testicle is pushed up,so instead of a steer you have a one nuted stag. He feels like a bull because of this and maybe even breed a cow but never settle them because the testicle is in the body cavity where it is to warm. Thats why we as buyers of feeder steers dislike bands. If put on right they are fine but too many people get in a hurry or careless. They are quite a problem to castrate after a poor banding job. So we cut everything with a knife and don't have to worry if they trully are steers. This said a lot of late cut steers will ride cows and know of some AI people use a steer to help in heet detection. [/QUOTE]
