Unless they've changed the process in the last twenty-five years,
castration is done while the steer is still a calf.  Castration and
branding were done at the same time.  It was a fairly common practice to
throw the testicles in a skillet by the fire as snacks for the crew.
The collection process doesn't meet FDA standards for processing meat,
so I doubt you'll see many bovine testicles on the market.
