I still think about the disaster I had back in the early '70's- I was just getting started in registered Shorthorns- had 5 bull calves and only one heifer that year. On a nice day in October, my dad came over and we cut the 5 bulls- they were spring calves, and ranged from 450-650 lbs. Dad had cut hundreds of calves, and nothing went wrong on any of these. Got up the next morning, and 3 of the 5 were dead. None of them bled, and we never could find any reason for the deaths. It did get into the low 30's that night, but they were all in a dry corral, and no reason for any problem. I never cut another calf- got an elastrator, and did them young, and never had another problem. Got out of cattle in 1985, and I can't say that I've missed them.
