Castration Dos and Don'ts: Pointers to help producers sell heavier, healthier steers

摘要

Castration of bull calves is a practice that most producers perform every year without question. And yet, there is still a percentage of feeders sold intact at a discount because they haven't been castrated. Plus, even for those producers who do castrate, it's important to be sure to use the correct technique and perform the procedure at a time when it is best for the animal's welfare and ensures you will take home more money from the sale.
