[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 794871, member: 637"] JHH, 155 views means that some of us don't know exactly what LFF is talking about! So, we are watching to see if someone will come on and tell us!!! So, for the sake of those that want to learn what is going on here, I will throw myself in front of the bus, and ask these questions! :shock: Some of it I will just throw in some useless tidbits. [size=1]pecker bait[/size] [u]1) Please explain what primary and secondary masculine traits are, or how are they different.[/u] On the question about the scrotal size vs. the masculine traits, I posted a question about the scrotal size having any effect on their herd. Small testicles ( lower sperm count-less fertile) Large testicles ( higher sperm count-higher fertility) I was seeing a lot of yearling bulls with early maturity, that had low scrotal numbers. The testostrone creates the neck and muscles on the bull. But the majority of the yearling bulls that had the largest necks, were small framed bulls. The early maturing bulls were more likely to have lower scrotal numbers. The somewhat larger, thicker, framed bulls, were not as bulked up, but carried more weight, had higher numbers on scrotal. This was what I noticed on the bulls I was checking out. 2.) I definitely think you lose size and weight of the bull calf if you casterate him early. That is a natural way of adding red meat to his carcass. I would think that the size of the ribeye would be decreased as well. 3.) I do think casteration would hurt the size of the ribeye, but I do not know what the percentage of loss that might occur. Chuckie [/QUOTE]
