One of the posts earlier discussed weight gain on steers vs. bull calves. It seems that bull calves gain more weight than steers. This makes sense if you take into consideration that heifer calves gain less weight than bull calves and chemistry is lost when we denut the little guys. Reading one of the posts recently it seems you only gain $5 to $8 per steer vs. bull calf at the auction. It just doesn't seem worth it to me to castrate a bull calf and lose the added weight potential. Most times I post something like this I'm wrong. This is a good thing so I can adjust what I'm doing. Am I wrong again?
