[QUOTE="PATB, post: 44094, member: 45"] We have tried it both ways at birth and weaning. I think the calves grow better if they are left intact to 3 or 4 months of age then fixed. When we process the cattle sometime during the summer for fly treatment any male calf that is scittish, light footed, hard to work, does not pass the visual test or aggrevates me gets fixed. We also run the calves across the scale during this process and any male calf that is not weighing up gets fixed. If you are not born to a top producing female you will end up as a steer. Our goal is to have 3 or 4 bull calves left out of 20+ at weaning. [/QUOTE]
