[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 18044"] Better ask your vet that did the surgery. I've never castrated one that old, but lots of people do without problems. I think banding is the way to go for that size animal. Sounds like your steer bled to death. I had a stud horse castrated a while back that was 5 years old and full of himself. Talk about having your hands full. > Yesterday we took our 6-month calf > to the vet to be surgically > castrated at our vets advice.
