        <description><![CDATA[Hello,<br /><br />
I have about 25 Weanling bulls for sale (actually , there between 1 and 2 years).<br /><br />
there are from a dairy herd. All Friesans, weigh about 300-350kg.<br /><br />
nice cattle, from a Dairy Herd,  however, <b>they are not castrated</b>.<br /><br />
I brought them to the mart (Mid West), and they were making very bad money.<br /><br />
Can anyone tell me, would they make better money if i castrated them?<br /><br />
Not quiet sure what to do with them now!!<br /><br />
thanks,<br />
Jo]]>

        <description><![CDATA[I have AA calves born from August to October 2011. All weaned.<br />
Am wondering whether it is best to castrate the bulls before letting them out this Spring?<br />
I intend selling the males at 10-12 months.<br />
What do ye think?<br />
Will there be more demand for them as bulls or as bullocks?]]>
