[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 791225, member: 391"] If I was selling at 450 lbs or less I wouldn't castrate- heavier than that and its worth doing. I prefer Banded around birth(please count to two AFTER you released the band). If the cow is up to date on tetanus shots the calf is protected too at this age. if not done then I prefer to knife cut (the antitoxins and bigger bands cost too much) plus some buyers will pay more for an intact bag.
