[QUOTE="Alan, post: 901704, member: 378"] I have always waited to castrate until the calf was about three months old. I'm thinking about doing it within the first 24 hrs this year, I think I would rather wrestle a 70lbs calf these days. I'm talking about castration not banding. I have researched some and see it can be done without problems to the calf. My questions are, does anyone here do it or have done it? Any problems to watch for out of the regular stuff such as infection? Finally how much weight loss do you believe there will be at 205 days, meaning from becoming a steer at 24 hrs and growing out to 205 days compared to the same animal as a bull at 205 days? I take a nickel hit at the sale yard for bulls. Thanks, Alan [/QUOTE]
