Does castration actually hurt? And if it does, why do we do it to cattle? Well there’s a few reasons why ranchers choose to castrate cattle, and it’s not just for convenience. ✅ Behavior & Safety – Bulls can be aggressive and harder to manage, while steers (castrated males) are calmer and easier to handle. ✅ Meat Quality – Castrated cattle produce more tender, better-marbled beef. ✅ Herd Management – It prevents unwanted breeding and helps control genetics. #cattle #cattleranch #castration #science #beef #steer #bull #cow #ranch #ranching #rancher #farmer #ag #agriculture #ag #didyouknow #funfact #funfacts #facts #fact #livestock #education #educational #testosterone #meat #steak #meatlover #food #western #cowboy #shilohfarm
