Yes it can be done: the best person to ask about how and cost is your vet who’ll do the procedure.

I have a fan that’s clocking on for two that I’ve enquired about castrating. My vet quoted me around 100 for the op and the meds.

I have to ask why?    Unless he has an amazing fleece for a fleece flock I find it hard to understand the expense.
