He should settle down within a day or so. Tiy can vaccinate him anytime, but do it while it is cool, not later then around 9 or 19 AM. The castration question gets a litle more complicated. I have never liked the clamping, i.e. Bardizzo crushing type of deal, seen to many that haven't been crushed adequately and had problems down stream. At 375 or so you only have two options that I can think of, using one of the callicrate (brand name) type of banders. They are expensive as hell but your local vet may have one and it may be cheaper having him/her/it do it for you. That leaves knife cut, this time of year you have fly problems, if I was going to do it with a knife I would wait till cooler weather and less flies. Waiting till later means more stress and set back and a greater chance of problems. I would go with the callicrate type of deal now, very little stress beyond the catching and restraining.
