[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 78764, member: 220"] When I had a calf who had a testicle that didn't come down into his scrotum, I just had the auction market pull him out of the bunch and told the buyers that it's because he hadn't been castrated and why. They didn't dock him very hard, but who knows why. Figured that if I was going to have repeat buyers, might be worthwhile being honest about the calves. Do the same with my freemartin heifers (they have a FM on their eartag, so makes them easy to sort out of the bunch before they get to the ring). Can't help but put myself in the shoes of the buyers who'd otherwise think that they are buying possible commercial replacements and end up getting burned. Take care. [/QUOTE]
