[QUOTE="ollie', post: 156225, member: 2432"] Nice post msscamp. One thing I'd like to add that is near and dear to my heart is the fact that if you wait till weaning to castrate which I have done for a few years, you will gain individual weight but almost every year you'll have a cripple from a bulling cow riding one of those 6 mo old bulls and breaking a stiffle joint. This year I have two I am feeding to eat I would just as soon have two healthy ones , and only butcher one. The discount or unsalability this year at least in my mind off sets the heavier healthy calves. Next year I am going back to castrating at spring work up. [/QUOTE]
