Yes, but “cows” is vastly more common and perfectly correct.
You can but you need a vet to do it with anaesthetic. Some bulls can be so aggressive you think they are evil.
Oh you can castrate a male at any age. But what would be the point of doing so?
The point of castrating them young is so they don’t get aggressive. If they’re mature I think it’s largely too late. Maybe it would help a little, but this animal is going to be a lot more aggressive than one castrated in its youth.
Ideally the younger the better. I have seen it done a number of times because the bull will be dangerous or your back up bull and the main bull are fighting so much you think it’s a question of time before they kill each other. Normally on the vets recommendation too. It does get less aggressive once the tetestrone is eliminated.

Which is why I said “a” instead of “the”. I assumed you would have appreciated random trivia.

Fair enough! It’s one I vaguely recall hearing at some point though I can’t recall where / when / why.
All I can think of is this:
I’ve been tempted to say "Man, I just went on a rant over in the finance section’ IRL many times. Except nobody’d know what the heck I’m talking about.

Heh, I recall it didn’t go over super well when it was pointed out (possibly by me although I honestly don’t remember) that heifers don’t have cajones.

While googling lavatory (which I only heard used as a synonym for bathroom at school), I learned that lavatory also means toilet in Britain and sink in the US, and also what the Irish call a bathroom.

When I was younger we used to call it the dunny but now it’s called the loo.

After someone says, “that’s not fair.” I’ve been known to say, “The fair comes around in August or September.” And leave it at that, no further explanation. Then I smile to myself.

I’ve said something similar. I’d like to say the whole thing but HR might not be as amused.

Hockey was originally played in two halves, like men’s college basketball. They divided it into three periods to allow for another ice resurfacing & give players another rest…and sell more concessions.

I believe the same is true of dragging the infield in baseball. It used to be in the middle of 5th inning and now it’s at the end of the 3rd and again at the end of the 6th. The players like the break and the fans buy more concessions and the network can sell more commercials, so win-win-win. (Oh and the infield looks nicer if anyone cares about such things.)
