$200 or more for a routine castration? Ya'll are getting ripped off. Here at Texas A&M, it's about $90 (I pay $77 with my discount). Gelding should be one of those procedures that's affordable for everyone.
OH!

Nope, I don't. We created the stallions that need to be gelded in the first place. It's our responsibility to cull since we created the issue. It's the risk every breeder takes when breeding, you must be prepared to geld your colts or sell them at a sale and get what ever price you can for them. Personally, I think it's the breeder's responsiblity to cull their own produce and geld those that need to be gelded. And it's generally obvious by the time they are yearlings who definately needs to be gelded. On our property, they must be as near perfect as possible to leave here intact, and only to people who can handle the responsibility.
If we haven't done it by then you can be sure we'll be down with the boys! THANKS!$200 or more for a routine castration? Ya'll are getting ripped off. Here at Texas A&M, it's about $90 (I pay $77 with my discount). Gelding should be one of those procedures that's affordable for everyone.
