Your post brings back a bad memory. When I was just starting out with cattle, in about '73, I had 5 calves to cut. My dad had been cutting bulls all his life, he did the surgery. Nothing at all out of the ordinary- calves were 500 to 700 pounds, in good condition, not really stressed during the process (I had a good chute, easy to get them caught up). No bleeders. We did it on a nice October day, and that night it got fairly cold and foggy (mid-30's temp.). Checked on them before going to bed- they weren't kicking up their heels, but looked fine. Next morning, 2 were eating hay, 3 were dead. Never could figure out why, other than maybe they were a little shocky, and got hypothermia when it got cold and foggy. It hit dad pretty hard- I think he had lost maybe one other in 40 years, and that from obvious bleeding. Next time I saw him, he gave me an Elastrator set, and advised me to band them when little, as his castrating career was over. I had cattle for about 10 years, always banded when newborn, never had any more trouble.
