d) is felt by some people to be a continuation of the British imperial rule On a cow-calf ranch the first job of the summer starts after the spring branding when the calves
are turned out. Freshly worked calves go through a period of stress which may last only a few
days or up to a week Stress is caused by several factors; loss of blood, the shock of dehorning
and castration
soreness and even a reaction to the vaccine. In small calves the stress is usually not severe.
Their horns are small and the surgery that removes them is not radical and the same holds true
of their castration so they don't lose much blood and don't suffer much shock. For several days
they may lie around, their heads will be sore, and they may not drink much milk. But after that
they bounce right back and are healed in a week's time. The healing process takes longer with
larger calves, and they are the ones most vulnerable to stress. One day a nice, fat steer calf is
walking slowly or lying off to himself, which you expect to see in a large calf that is stiff and
sore. Then the following day you find him dead. You can never be sure absolutely what it was
that killed him, but you assume it had something to do with stress.

a) are the second procedure to be carried out in the spring after branding
