Episode 91 - Is Castration Really Necessary?

In this episode, Chuck Lewis (Sheraton Park Farms) and I discuss the topic of castration. Is it an archaic practice that needs to be outlawed? Does it still serve a purpose on the farm? How and when should you do it? We cover these questions and a whole lot more in this episode.
