[QUOTE="redneckcowgirlmn, post: 332898, member: 5061"] So, is 7 months too old for castrating a bull calf, that we're planning on butchering in the fall? Thought it was supposed to be done when they were younger. And, since he is older, does he need to be sedated like a horse, or just restrained, either tied down or a squeeze chute or something? (Vet was supposed to do it a few months ago, but the booger was a little sick, so he said to wait a while... spaced it, 'till this morning when he was trying to ride the heifer.) Oh, and speaking of THAT, how true is the whole "Freemartin Heifers" being sterile? Asked the vet, who is a kinda long-winded guy, and after some wierd hand gestures, and something about "depending on if the heifer's and bull's placentas were twisted together or not, blah blah blah". All I got out of it was yes and no. :shock: [/QUOTE]
