Waiting to castrate your animals can be one of the best decisions you ever make. Bulls left intact have a natural ability to gain more weight. Also, intact bulls have a greater immune system and are less likely to get sick.
Study after study has shown that a bull born in February will weigh approximately 50 pounds more when shipped in November. At $1.15 per pound this will put $57.50 per steer you ship.
Once castrated with any of the Wadsworth Banders the testicles will take anywhere from 20 to 40 days to drop off.
All weights are approximate and may vary a little, both up and down.
Our machines also work for dehorning and docking tails.
Remember to match the machine to your cattle size for the best price.
