2 yo badly castrated

Waternotsoda

I bought in a batch of AA last November. Turns out one of them was not properly cut. I noticed him in March. I asked the Vet twice to castrate him. However I'm guessing with the whole covid thing he never came out. He is now 23 months and i am finishing him with a batch of steers. Is there anything that can be done or should I just send him to the factory with the others?

I would nt do anyth with him now. He will be your best thriving animal in that bunch. I can't see a factory Knockin you bull price if you send them all together.
Safety note, keep him with his original bunch at all times and don't trust him.

Are you sure.if he was cut I don’t see how it could be done wrong. Either the testicle was removed or it wasn’t.

I use cut / castrate interchangeably. It is more accurate to say squeezed.

Is he very bullish if he is 23 months now what weight is he and when do you intend to finish them. How many in the bunch

Nine in the bunch. I originally intended sell whatever was ready in late July. Yes he certainly stands out from the others. Not aggressive but I would say more assertive than the others.

Gas he a bulls sack and is he developing a neck. Unless he is going to be very bullish you nearly manage to get him away as a bullock if slaughtering them.

Reminds me of 2 years ago about mid April I bought 4 x 2 yo HEx. Only when they were home I noticed that one was a bit strong in the sac. Straight to grass and first few weeks he was grand. Then I noticed the neck getting chunky.
Came home one evening and where was the fcuker only inside with my neighbours prize winning Charolois cows. Had a job to get him into a house. Had the vet handle him and he was only half done. Vet asked did I want to do him. No way I rang the lad I bought him off and told him I wanted him gone.
I was fair with him and just asked for my money back even tough he had about 6 weeks grass eaten.
More importantly no damaged done to the cows.

We dont keep many bull calves over but the last couple of years we have had at least one that has only 1 stone. My dad says he never saw it before.
