[QUOTE="Lane, post: 966554, member: 14381"] When we are buying calves we generally work a group every week, and you would be amazed at what you may find when castrating. The worst is the calves messed up banding. These are the hardest to fix as most of the time the testicle is deformed and feels like it is growing to the side of the sack. I don't enjoy castrating but I wish folks would just leave the calves intact. Out of 100 head I may see 1 or 2 with one testicle, I see some with 1 big and 1 small, some with 1 that has not distended as far, and several other oddities that I guess are caused by trauma. I guess the worst thing is when my order buyer gets startled from his nap and buys calves that on the truck suddenly become heifers! Lane [/QUOTE]
