I have done both banding the newborn calf (as wolf said I'm sure painful as bloodflow is cut off to the scrotum) or waiting until a while later, a bloody experience caused with a razor blade. Castration is necessary to make the male calf fatter, thus producing more beef for those reading that who are unfamiliar with this daily process. There is the danger with the razor of infection and people usually spray with a blue lotion and administer an antibiotic ( I usually use LA 200).

Lately, I have been doing neither. I am selling them as is (getting a lesser price for a bull than a steer) but still more than for a heifer (female calf).

I am still interested in what anyone, especially long term followers of Mr. Swartz could have to assist us with the Nasdaq and mutual fund/institutional interest on PTSC. This is the Holy Grail IMO to corporation success. If he does have this power do you imagine that he won't pursue it until Licensure and CEO phases are completed or am I way off course?
