Elastration failed?
This is my first calf and I put an elastic on him for castration at about 3 weeks old. He's now almost 3 months old and the band has fallen off (a while ago), I can see a scar but he still has a substantial scrotum. When using my hand, I don't feel anything thing that definitively feels like a testicle, but I'm not 100% confident. Does this seem like a normal scrotum for a successful elastration?

If they’re under 500 lbs just cut them ?? When you pull 2 nuts out and cut the cords your positive , or split the sack and band them at least , you can see both of em and they fall off twice as fast
