I would like to highlight a practical aspect of that point. Is the status of an animal on its identification card changed from "male" when castration takes place? When one registers an animal online, one can classify it as a steer or as a bull. Is that done merely for the purposes of record-keeping? Is it the case that a male is a male for the purposes of an identification card?
