[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 1802895, member: 8629"] This is what we do. I like to do it while they are still on the cow as they are moving around more and seem to have less stress. There was a study in Switzerland that suggested waiting until they are over 16 weeks was best. Biggest drawbacks are operator error and a sprung tool. They warp easily and should not be stored clamped shut. Buyers tend not to like them unless they have been castrated long enough to be really shriveled since if you don’t do it right the nuts are still functional. I like to double check after a month just to make sure. One year I had two failures and in checking the tool it was sprung. No problems since I switched tools and I check it every time before using it. [/QUOTE]
