Extract

1. 247 commercial beef calves were examined at ages ranging from 0–13 months.

2. Separation between penis and sheath commenced at about 3 or 4 months and was completed at about 9 or 10 months. Great differences were, however, found between animals of similar ages.

3. The degree of adherence present at castration was greater than that found in a previous survey at the time of slaughter. Evidence is presented to support the suggestion that separation between penis and sheath may take place after castration.
