[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 379388, member: 1258"] I do number one, rape scenes at the feedlot aren't pretty and castrating although painful does not hurt for more than a day or so. Don't have horns, dehorn at conception by using a red angus bull Don't brand, see no point to it here - we don't have to worry about theft and therefore it does seem like an unnecessary cruelty for our operation. For those that it is necessary it is again not a lifelong pain. As for shoving an arm up the rectum, size wise it is about the same as a man having a prostate exam. Feedlots here are regulated. They might not be the best places to live but they are well fed and have room to move. All of the animals above have also had good times in their lives (at least if they were brought up here). That same steer that is castrated also plays and runs in a grassy field. Good and bad in their lives, sounds like my life - it isn't pain free either. That is why I see a big difference between all of the things you mentioned and being put in a box from day one not being allowed to move their entire lives and fed substandard food to keep the meat a pretty colour. A righteous man takes care of his animals, that isn't taking care of an animal in my view. [/QUOTE]
