From Pathfinder Wiki

Castration is commonly performed on domestic animals not intended for breeding for the following reasons:

  • To reduce or prevent territorial behaviour
  • To reduce or prevent aggression
  • To reduce other consequences of sexual behaviour that may make animal husbandry more difficult, such as boundary/fence/enclosure destruction when attempting to get to nearby cows.
  • To increase growth and weight of the animal.
  • To improve the taste of the meat.
