[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 661320, member: 2308"] We do all of ours at birth too. There is just too big a price spread here not to do it. In our case, we calve in one area and move the new pairs to a new area shortly after birth. They go through the corral when we move them and we snag the calf on the way by the barn. Then they get tagged, banded, dehorned an any other stuff that needs to be done. For most of our cows, though, we could do it all out on pasture if we wanted. Nasty mamas don't last long around here. Another time that works to castrate is when the calves are all branded and/or vaccinated. If you have ahold of them then, might as well castrate. This is when most of the bigger ranchers do their calves around here. They don't tag at birth, a lot of range mama's aren't that nice when their baby is threatened. The calves get anything done that is needed when they are 2-3 months old at branding. [/QUOTE]
