[QUOTE="Utah, post: 212403, member: 1043"] I have another question for those kind enough not to ridicule me for not knowing the answer here: I have a new black baldy steer now almost 900 pounds. He has really good size and shape for his age and his rump and loins are rather large and he has grwon like crazy. When I brought in three other steers yesterday, he got all excited and was mounting the other herford steer like he was ready to breed. This lasted for some time. He had all the tellings of a bull to me. When I look at him compared to his brother, his scrotum seems to have something there - not descended like a large bull but not dried up and empty like his younger brother - sort of in between. And watching him follow the new ones with his unit all excited, I just wondered if he was missed or if one testicle was missed. Can steers act this way for an extended period of time? If he was missed, his scrotum is small. But will he finish just the same for the freezer? He is fairly calm right now but I just don't want problems later this year since my fences are not the very best. Please help me with your experience and what I should watch for or what my options are. Thank you!! [/QUOTE]
