When do you castrate your wethers?

[Dave-Trinity-Farms]

The normal banding tool used on goats and sheep is good till they are about 3 months of age. After that and actually at that age, its very difficult to get the band open wide enough to fit the nuts in. The calf one is a little better. Though if you use the green bands, its still only going to open so far. Need bigger bands. Which can cause an issue in themselves with no being able to tighten enough to kill all the tubes in the sack. Doesnt happen often but it can. So for older boys, we have done the calf tool with the green bands and have put two of them on.
