[QUOTE="larryshoat, post: 593389, member: 6773"] Well, I guess I'm going to side with hillsdown on this one . I never castrate a bull by any means without giving a shot of pen before leaving the chute . I try to never let anything hang down below the cut off sac, anything hanging out is just a wick for infection . I always spray with iodine .I always keep my scalpel in alcohol between bulls .I've knife cut thousands of bulls and when I've done all the things that I've mentioned I don't have any trouble, but when I've strayed from any of those things I start to have some trouble . My advice is, pen is cheap, and those infections can be difficult to clear up . I would treat him with pen, at least 10ml per 100 .JMHO Larry [/QUOTE]
