[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1152697, member: 20599"] With the disclaimer that I'm a newbie, we had a similar situation a few months ago and had the vet out to castrate the "steer" in question, who was then about 9-10 mos old. She let us turn him back out with the herd immediately but told us to lute the short yearling heifers in 2 weeks, because the steer could conceivably still breed them for a bit after the castration. (They would need luted either way; by waiting just 2 weeks, no more, we could take care of any preexisting pregnancies plus any he could sneak in immediately after castration). Just a thought, since it sounded like maybe you were turning him in with your cows as soon as he's castrated...may want to see what your vet says. [/QUOTE]
