No. Some form of a scrotum is present when a bull calf is born, regardless if the testes haven't descended yet. It may appear as such if this is the case, but there is a scrotum or "cod" present when a bull calf is born.

Should you leave your bull in pen with heifer and calf?

No. The bull should be separate from the heifer and her calf simply because it's less stress for her and enables her to mother up to her calf without having to be getting after the bull if he tries to interfere with her.


Can a black cow and a bull have a white calf?

No. Black is a dominant colour, no matter what colour the bull is. If the bull is white, the calf will be grey. If a bull is black, the calf will be black; if a bull is a blue roan, the calf will be most likely a darker roan or even black; if a bull is red or brown, the calf will be black; if a bull is yellow or orange the calf will be either grey or black.


How do you band a young bull?

The method of banding depends on the age of the bull calf. If the bull is very young (less than 4 weeks of age), you can use an elastrator with the small green rings on the bull. The bull calf must be restrained and on its side with one leg held up before you can do this procedure. The elastrator has four prongs that, when the handle is squeezed, spreads apart stretching the green ring. Do this over the bull's testicles until you get right up to the neck of the scrotum past the testes. Release the elastrator and remove the tool, leaving the green ring at the neck of the scrotum.

How do you castrate a bull calf?

There are three main methods to castrate a bull calf:1. Banding: Put the calf on its side, pull the two testicles in the sac, and with the elastrator (with a green rubber cheerio-like ring on it already), stretch the ring so that it fits over the testes and sits at the neck of the scrotum close to the body. Release the ring so that stays there, then release the calf. There's another form of banding that can be done on older bull-calves, but they need to be restrained in a squeeze chute to have the operation done on them.2. Cutting: This is a method commonly done by ranchers at branding time. When the calf is held down to be branded, the scrotum of the bull calf is slit open by a clean sharp knife, the testes are slid out of the scrotum, and the knife is used to cut them off. The cut has to be made at an angle, not straight across.3. Emasculator: The scrotum is cut open with a scalpel or clean sharp knife exposing the testes. The emasculator is put on the spermatic cord above the testes, and the handles squeezed together so the emasculator crushes and squeezes the blood vessels and cuts them off. When crushed hard enough, the testes are simply removed. Emasculators are mostly used on older bulls, as the instrument is too big to be used on young bull calves.
