[QUOTE="BlackBaldyMan, post: 332956, member: 3511"] I was thinking about this the other day, I would almost think that it would be less stress on the bull if you cut him rather then band him that old. My thinking is yes its stressful that first day, and maybe the week afterwards but then its done, rather then that bull having a band pinch him for however long it takes to finally kill his testes and having him go off of feed that much longer, just a though. I think its like a 99% chance they are freemartin, reason is when in the woom the testosterone is passed before the estrogen (in a simple nutshell) and this causes the heifer to not develope. Pretty much its a steer brain in a heifer body, they work good for heat detectors :cboy: [/QUOTE]
