Keepin him from looking "sheathy"

[PinkOil Princess]

Is it just a matter of genetics or a matter of when you castrate them to keep steers looking cleaner in the sheath area?

It's genetic. There has been many a bottles of icy hot used to make a steer appear less sheathy.

First let me say I've never done this but have seen it done . Put some super glue on it and glue it up a little or fold it over and glue it to itself . Saw a guy do this on a heifer the had a little extra navel in her

It is genetics.  In Texas, if they have enough "sheath" often they are shown in the American Breeds classes.  I know some folks who put those castration bands around the the flabby part of the sheath to make it fall off and look smoother.
