Reasons for Castration:

  • Historically, tame oxen for draught purposes
  • Prevent mating and reproduction after the age of puberty
  • Produce docile cattle that are easier to handle compared to bulls
  • Decrease aggressiveness, mounting activity, injuries.
  • Enhance on-farm safety for animals, producers and employees
