Hey everyone. I was hoping to get some feedback from personal experience with what age is the preferred age for castration.
I have a 6 month old buck who is getting very bucky. He's half alpine half la mancha. He's doing great growth wise, 100+ lbs and 29" at his withers.
I want to let his urinary tract mature as long as I can.
The packgoat world seems to be evolving and learning from past experiences. Castration at an early age (3 months or less) scares me as I have lost my string leader to UC. I don't mind him getting bucky. I just want to allow him to mature to give him the best chances for a long healthy life.
Has anyone found an ideal age for castration? Growth, personality and longevity?
I'm in no rush to get him castrated if its better to wait even longer.
Thanks
