early vs. late castration

hi!

i mentioned the same thing before, but couldn’t find the thread so i …
i know that early castration makes larger steers, but i red that late castrated oxen, with developed bull body are best suited for particulary heavy tasks. by that i mean logging. now, logging in balkans is the most demanding task an ox can perform. it is quite different than logging in america, as here only a single pair of oxen is expected to pull a fully grown trunk. only the biggest oxen are chosen for the job, and they usually don’t last more than 4 years.:(

sorry, i went little aside.

now, some facts.
younger castrated calves have calmer temperaments, and those castrated late tend to develop more bullish behaviour. what does it mean practically?
also, they have bigger and stronger neck muscles, which is desired in a type of yoke used in balkans.

please tell me what’s the chance of an late castrated ox to go against his owner, if treated firmly, and being, most likely, brown swiss or simmental? is it a posibility? how much dominance must i exert against them to stay submissive? and how?

then again, there are dog breeds require EXTENSIVE socialization and firm handling (but no physical punishment) before they can be trusted in public or even with their owner. and even then, they are dangerous to anyone who trespasses their territory. those are caucasian owcharka, central asian owcharka, and sarplaninac. livestock protection is their trade. honestly, i’d rather raise a young bull than such a dog.

and how to make a young bull stay submissive up until 2 years? my guess would be lots of firm handling from early age and total absence of cows. and lots of dominance showing. please tell me if i’m right!

the bull’s body is more compact, yes, a little smaller, but my guess is it shapes the body for high power output, for fighting.

also, your experiences with younger bulls would be helpful.
