I'm new here and also new to owning a calf. This is how I got started. I am a hobbiest beekeeper. I have my bees over at a fellas small farm of around 100 acres, around 25 - 30 in pasture. The guy (78 years old) had six cows and no bull. He asked me if I could find him a bull. I agreed to buy half of the bull and bring him to the farm and in exchange I own half of the bull and get a free calf. Don't ask which half I own. I like to think the best half. Anyway, I have some friends who own around 20 head and they sold me a bull calf at around 3 months old. Well he did what he was supposed to do and I have a bull calf born in December this year and no squeeze chute. How the hell can I catch this pastured calf to castrate him? Do vets offer this service? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thought of running him around the pasture with my ATV until he was worn out......
