[QUOTE="Bez, post: 112578, member: 412"] Hoss It is not unusual for an animal to "suck" one testicle up inside himself if the ring or band is not placed tightly on the scrotum and above the testicles. I got one of these on the home place this year - he is out the door this week. I figue Bama is on the mark - you got yourself a bull and at least one bred heifer. Pen this guy and throw him - stretch him out - if you do not have a squeeze. "Cop a feel" and if there is a testicle - it will be there under the skin. If you want to finish the castration this would be the time to do it - but if you are a newbie, I would have a veterinarian do it. It can get a bit messy. If you do not have the infrastructure to securely round these guys up - well, that is why all the old hands say get your pens and chutes up first - then bring home the animals. Hope your heifer is big enough to do the job - if not, separate the boy from the girls - go buy some Estrumate and give her a shot to abort the calf. Better than cutting a calf out of a small cow. If you wanted a steer for eating - just keep him apart from the girls - kill him and eat him on schedule. You will have those who say the animal should be castrated if you are planning to eat him - but I have eaten bulls - and so have many of my associates - and there has never been a complaint. Good luck on whatever you plan to do. Bez [/QUOTE]
