There's also the safety aspect of castrating a bull calf,I work on a farm here in the uk and I was knocked down by a 6month old bull calf he broke my ribs ,so even at 6 months old they can be quite dangerous,here our beef cattle are marketed between 18 and 24 months old with a few being sold at 30 months

Good point, bulls can and do get mean

Gotta do this on one of my new ram lambs. Should be pretty easy. Most the time I walk out there he’s just laying around.

@bigbearhomestead 3 года назад

Words of advice...never underestimate a lazy animal. That's how we ended up chasing Duke and Beaux last year!

@TheNakidGardeners 3 года назад

That seemed a lot easier than the time Mrs NG and I were there. I still clinch when I see that device even though it is not me.

@bigbearhomestead 3 года назад

Much easier. We learned from last year how to get him without busting through the fence

When I had the vet here to disbud my calf, he told me he has had to "correct" castrations where the owner couldn't count to 2. 😜

@bigbearhomestead 3 года назад

Yes it is very important to make sure you have both of them before you place the castration band.

@ezravantassel5639 Год назад

Knife cutting will take care of that problem 👍🏻

It was!, you can do the next one

@Dreamydazefarm 2 года назад

Great video that was surprisingly easy we did piglets this year for the first time that was intense we use castrating pliers on our goats and that’s easy but pigs 🐷 cut and tear was kinda gruesome lol I know you know what I’m talking about lol

What is the age range that bull calves can be castrated this way?

@bigbearhomestead 2 года назад

Anywhere from 8 weeks on

@karendeweerd8146 2 года назад

@@bigbearhomestead Thank you so much! We have our first little herd of cattle and our first bull calf is 6 weeks, so we are hungry for all info! We are so thankful for channels like yours.

@Dutch_off_grid_homesteading 3 года назад

heya, oh wouw that is so much more human then cutting ect.ect greetings

@bigbearhomestead 3 года назад

Paul! Great to see you! Yes this is way more humane than cutting. And it is much easier to do as well.

@vineyardchickshomestead 2 года назад

Hello @Big Bear Homestead ! Thank you for sharing this. I want to try this with our new baby bull but I don't think we can get him away from his mama and she gets a bit aggressive. I think we might need to buy something to isolate her with. Thanks in advance for any advice you can share! God bless!

@bigbearhomestead 2 года назад

The best way is to have two paddocks. Mom in one and calf in the other, have the paddock close together and then separate the paddock over time.

Thanks for sharing this video. May I ask how old that calf was and what breed? I’m a first time cattle owner with black angus and I just banded a bull calf that was almost 9 weeks old. I only weigh but a buck fifty and my calf was stronger (and larger) than the one you banded. I required the help of someone putting the calf on his side and holding his legs while I banded him. Are your bulls always that docile when you band them by strattling his body and holding up one of the hind quarters the way you did? You ever been kicked when holding his leg up that way?

@bigbearhomestead 11 месяцев назад

Well we didn't wait that long to band him, for that exact reason. The cow that was his mom was three years old. So far I have never been kicked. That might have something to do with his age.... thanks for watching

@bonsukan 11 месяцев назад

@@bigbearhomestead For future reference, do you recommend banding bull calves in their 1st week after being born (minus the 1st 24 hrs)?

@bigbearhomestead 11 месяцев назад

I think the general rule is between 2 and 4 weeks. After about 3 months, you are struggling to restrain the calf long enough to place the band properly.
