Selling male weanlings next May, to squeeze now or not

locky76 · 2011-08-02 21:31:41

I've twelve limo bull calves which I will be weaning next April, they'll be around 350/400kgs at that stage. Am i as well off to leave them whole or would i be better off castrating them if i'm selling them then?

Well if you squeeze them now you have no choice nxt spring, wheras if you leave them entire it would still be possible to castrate nxt spring. Do you have sheds for bulls and can you divide heifer and bull weanlings?

If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
