[QUOTE="jt, post: 359371, member: 238"] on the subject of how long it takes the bag to fall off, i heard something interesting from a very knowledgable cow man this past weekend. he said that a buddy of his that worked in a feedyard or something like it where they received in cattle that you and me have sold at the sale barn would band these bull calves and then cut a small part of the bottom of the sac off to allow fluid to run out. according to their story it took about 1/2 the time for the sac to fall off versus leaving it intact. my first question to him was about the size of the hole cut, it cant be too big or the testicles will fall out. he said no, it was just a small hole for drainage. i dont know if i put a lot of stock in it, because that hole is going to seal off fast imo, but i wasnt going to argue with him, he has forgotten more than i know about cattle. anybody else ever tried this or have any comments? jt [/QUOTE]
