[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 276925, member: 391"] Sorry--- We have been seeing calves with deformed balls- very short thick cords ,very thick membranes and sacks. Started a couple years ago with a few here and there-- its been getting more frequent. We also noticed that these "bulls" had been implanted(could still feel the implant). We think the implant deforms the nuts. They weren't mistakes(ie short sacks- bad band job)- their sacks were intact. We concluded that Somepeople(idiots) are purposely implanting bulls. They do look a little softer- but not near enough for someone that knows anything to pay steer price for them. But maybe they are finding some suckers that don't see a big full bag and pay steer price for them. ????????/ I have warned my buyers to keep an eye out for a decent set of nuts hanging down or letem ride. I know they are still gonna get a few of them and short sacks- its just too hard to see it all in a ring. If you read this- and someone tries to tell you implanting bulls is a good idea- And just thowing a band on willy nilly is ok-- think about what that poor animal goes thru when it eventually does get cut.
