[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1671097, member: 6291"] I castrated in the SO4 not long ago. Had no problems holding some pretty small calves. The calves were 60-120 days old. My only complaint about castrating in the squeeze is it's hard on a big boy to get down under those calves. I was kneeling on the bottom pannel when it flips out and it was killing me. I'm a little banged up and have one knee in pretty rough shape. When your sitting there trying to get nuts to drop and what not, kneeling, hunched up, it doesnt take too many to wear you down. A buddy is going to lend me a calf table to test drive. We threw one and cut it on its side. It was easier from the cutting side but you had to throw it. I had a hard time grabbing the nuts on some of the smaller ones. As long as I could get a hold of them I could pull them easily with no blood. Next time I will make sure every calf is at least 90 days. [/QUOTE]
