Is it normal to GA to geld? All of the geldings I've seen were standing up under sedation and local but then the oldest was 4.

It is more common for older entires, yes :) Some vets will still castrate standing, but the risk of severe blood loss is higher in the older ones. Under GA, and in sterile conditions means that a closed procedure can take place instead of the wound being left open to drain :)
