No Tune in a Bucket Posts: 2935 Location: Texas	slacy09 - 2016-10-07 11:16 AM I had this same question.....we have a long yearling but he's not very big. I want him to get bigger so I didn't know when to cut him. Also, does ralgro really work? My son think so.

Veteran Posts: 233	Seems to me, in my totally uneducated opinion, that especially if you've got a nice colt or one with the potential to be nice, you can't put the nuts back on them. I'd wait as long as possible, and not when the weather is awful.

Nothing Comes Easy Posts: 2353 Location: Texas	I gelded my guy around 8 months old. As soon as we had a week of cold weather, off to the vet he went. I show in hand a lot, so it's hard to show a colt/stallion.

Hes a really mellow colt and isnt a little jerk yet. Ive had other colts that were absolute a**hats and they got cut between 6-9 months. As long as my current baby acts like a gentleman, he can keep em. Doesnt hurt that hes a handsome son of a gun
