2 Frequency of Bulls vs. Steers? Smith et al., % of male calves were bulls McDaniel et al., % of producers do not castrate males calves
3 Percent of operations that castrated male calves born in 1996 before sale by region North- South- West Central Central Central Southeast 89.2% 95.8% 82.8% 63.6% 65.0% 25.5% Calves not castrated Adapted from NAPHIS Cow-Calf 97

9 Conclusions Castration at arrival results in: Decreased performance - ~ $35 Increased health costs - $12 Purchase steer = $678 Purchase bull = $464 31% discount
10 Conclusions Castration at arrival results in: 27 lbless gain in 44 days ~10 increase in treatment cost
11 Common Questions How much should they be discounted? Is banding better? If they are likely to get sick, should we provide metaphylaxis treatment?
12 Knife Cutting vs. Banding Pull-N-Treat vs. Metaphylactic Treatment
13 Management Crossbred steers (269 hd) and bulls (356 hd) were purchased from livestock markets in Oklahoma and Arkansas between January and March 2011 Calves experienced a 2.5% shrink to Stillwater (avg= 100 mi; initial BW = 584 lb) from a pay weight of 598 lb After arrival weighing and tagging, calves were allowed to rest for 24 to 72 h with ad libitum access to prairie hay and water clostridialtoxins including Clostridium tetani(covexin8; IV/SP), IBR, PI 3, BRSV, and BVD type I and II (Express 5; BI), and internal and external parasites (Ivomec Plus, Merial). Bulls castrated by surgical emasculation using a Newberry knife or elastration using Callicratebanderloops Half calves received metaphylatic animtimicrobial(draxxin; Pfizer, 1.1 ml/cwt) Penned by castration status and metaphylaxis Visual evaluation 2/1 times daily - treatment administered if rectal temperature> F

21 Economics Analysis was reflective of deads-out performance Processing costs and medicine costs are reflective of current market values, feed cost was $199.51/ton DM Purchase price was assumed to be $125.54/cwt

23 Conclusions Bulls resulted in $0.07 increase in breakevensafter 42 days if purchased at the same price as steers ~6% decrease in purchase price Banding reduced morbidity compared to Knife MM reduced: treatments in bulls and steers Reduce mortality in bulls Numerically reduced breakevens($.02 to.03/cwt) in bulls Was 44 days long enough? With winter calves, castration method may be more an issue of producer preference

68 Summary Bulls castrated on arrival have been associated with decreased performance and increased health risk compared with cattle that arrive as steers. Because many cow/calf producers do not castrate their calves before sale, more research is needed to address different management procedures that might have a positive impact on the health and performance of calves arriving as bulls. This is especially important because of the documented (Renfro et al., 2004) negative impact that cattle arriving as bulls has on feedlot performance and carcass characteristics, resulting in decreased hot carcass weight, yield grade, and quality grade.
