[QUOTE="mncowboy, post: 783668, member: 13422"] Just checking to see what folks think when it comes to castration, which method works best and at what age? -Some have said its best to leave them on until a few weeks before weaning to keep your steers from looking like heifers and others have said its best to band them at a few days old to avoid the discomfort and hassle of doing it later. Who cuts and who bands? Do you use the round "doughnut" band or the ratcheting surgical band style? Do you feel castration is a must to keep the quality of the meet or is it just to take the "attitude" out of the bull? -Does a guy do just as well castrating at a younger age and then implanting? Thanks in advance, [/QUOTE]
