Mississippi State University’s football coach had a bull castrated in front of his team before a big game this month because he thought it would be “motivational and educational.”
Jackie Sherrill, the head coach at Mississippi State, invited the bull’s owner to castrate the animal on the practice field in the week preceding the team’s victory over the University of Texas at Austin. The Texas mascot is a longhorn steer.
Mr. Sherrill said the idea for the event came to him when he asked his players what a steer was and none of them knew the answer. A steer is a castrated male of the cattle family.
