I have heard up to 6 weeks. Sometimes they don't quit acting studly either. Sometimes they keep some of the same traits.

You'll want to keep him separated from the fillies & mares a while yet too... can take up to 2 months. And yes, often some of the studly attributes don't completely disappear.

When I gelded my boy (really supper studly at 3 weeks of age) It took about 4 weeks for him to calm down ..
Give it time, he will calm down soon...

Nothing to worry about!
 Just be sure to keep him seperated from any girls.. he can still get the job done and make an oops foal. Our vet had us keep our jack gelding away in a nice clean, dry place for a month. I waited a little longer Soon as we turned him out with the jennys.. he got busy with everyone that was in season. I was kind of worried and thought... he'll never be a good gelding. It's been a few months and the jennys still back up to him and he'd rather eat. Sometimes he hides from them. It takes quite sometime to be completley honest but don't worry, as long as it was a good clean surgery with no retained testicles you'll be just fine.
