Castration!

 "In the United States, more than 17 million bulls are castrated yearly that range in age from 1 day to 1 year old." (Drovers Magazine)

It's only a nasty rumour Billy.
Castration. Well as can be imagined, this procedure is not too popular with young friskers. "Ya see, it's a mite like gettin' your goolies hit by a baseball bat...over an' over again." If it's that painful, why do it? Hank thought for a  moment, rubbing his three day unshaven chin which sent sparks flying into the hay loft. "You from the city boy? The question being purely rhetorical as he observed wryly my expensive, inappropriate flamboyant attire." John Ford. He's dead you know." Having dampened down the fire, he continued. "Now, if sweet meat's your delicacy, without 17 million bullocks' bollocked...you followin' me? Fancy restaurants pay tops for 'em." I wiped the last vestige of an impromptu up-chuck from my jacket and ridicules boots. "So, that's about it city fella. Reduced aggression, lower testosterone an' more back-pocket dollars."
Hank wandered off with a couple of knife sharp ranch hands, to surprise more young bucks who will have nil job prospects on this Ponderosa.
