[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1709473, member: 25884"] Agree with all the others that have replied. Yes, the first thing is have the vet look at him. We band alot of bigger bull calves and the testicles should be cold within 48 hours... it does sound like they did a lousy job with the castration. I also agree that the lumps on the neck may very well be from LA200 or other brand of oxytet, shots. It will often cause lumps and it burns when injected so that could be part of his being "touchy"... We always massage the area that we give the LA and always give it under the skin as opposed to the muscle as it nearly ALWAYS causes lump given in the muscle. Sure hope you can get him straightened out. It would be cause for a possible refund... And in the future, find another source for his next steer. If there was a problem with banding they should have had a vet "fix it" and had him cut.... [/QUOTE]
