[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 481947, member: 391"] tough to band a steer :) Sorry couldn't resist poking some fun at your expense I think he means castrating too. Male calves(bulls) come with testicles that are in a "bag/sack" of hide. To castrate them(ie turn them into a steer) you remove the testicles. Can be done several ways Two of the most common are putting a rubber band around the sack and the top of the testicles and let them rot off. Or you can cut the bag and pull the testicles out. I have heard of bagging ewes- it means to reach under and feel their jugs to estimate when they are going to drop(can't see thru the wool). Can't see any reason to be bagging steers- and cows you can easily see their bags so theres no need to go a baggin. [/QUOTE]
