I guess we could get used to the difference in taste, but an intact
male is a lot more gamerer in taste. Plus the fact that I would have
to manage my herd in a different way, more fencing, smaller space for
the herd as all those rams together, well, the fighting between them
can get dangerous at times.
The band does not even hurt them when we put it on and in almost 6
years we have never had any infection or trouble with using
banding.......
