Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot
Sorry, no super growth genetic lines here. I'm just not up on the ages, he's 18 months at least, just been on good grass.

We didn't actually cut him, used the cordless drill castration tool... whatever that thing is called. It is what we have always used on these larger bulls, but usually they get tested as yearlings and culled then, these went longer for some reason. I'd always thought it was just the thing to do, castrating them, that the beef would taste bad if you didn't. There is also no chance of keeping him away from cows or heifers, everything is penned up right now within a few hundred yards.
