They described using cording to do that on sheep farms in a book I read. I wondered if zip ties would achieve the same result.

His "complaining" made it all possible, laughable. Those things were HUGE! I bet he had plans for them!

Whenever we take calves to the sell they always get cut there if they already haven't been. Did not watch the vid but i am guessing the spray was just an antibiotic to keep it from getting infected while healing |

I hand 4 births this spring 3 boys and 1 girl. I don't want the boys breeding their sister. I want to let them get to a year old before i eat them. So off with the balls.

We clamped (burdizzo). Took two seconds, one little bleat, that was it. No cutting, no trauma, no problems. Had a buckling with a genetic defect, otherwise we would have kept him intact. ETA: We raise dairy goats. Need good bucks for breeding. Once they've bred, we sell them. Last one we had on craigslist for a month for $50. Didn't sell, so we took it to auction. got $85. |

Man, you didn't wait for the anaesthetic to take effect!
You started cutting just 10 seconds after finishing the injection and every time you touched the little guy's balls with a sharp object he raised hell! Didn't you connect the two events and stop to think "Gee, maybe I need to give the anaesthetic a little more time to work?"  RTFM next time. The instructions with the anaesthetic will certainly say that it takes at least a minute to work properly. When I had a dislocated finger reset, I got two shots, one in each side of the base of the finger, which hurt worse than the dislocation itself. It was a good three minutes before it completely took effect, but it sure as hell did take complete effect by that time. It's like my finger wasn't even there. It could have been chewed off by a rabit pit bull at that point and I wouldn't have felt anything. Next time, save the goat some suffering and wait three minutes between the injection and the nutting process. CJ |

We cut bull calves Friday, nuts in the freezer! Good friend of mine has a Christmas shop party every year that features calve fries and mountain oysters. I'll be donating them to the cause.

I used to help cut calves for a buddy of mine in Idaho. I'd end up with a couple of buckets o' nutz when we got done.
Another buddy of mine owned a tavern and had a broasting machine, (pressure deep-fryer), and a big beer garden with horseshoe pits. I'd bring the mountain oysters and he'd kick in a keg of beer.....best 'nut busts' I ever been to. Good times.  You miss out on a bunch of good eatin' using them damned 'emasculator' bands. |

Done it a bunch. Just make sure you cut the bottom of the sack well enough that it drains, or ey can get a fairly nasty infection.

Testicles are removed mostly because they affect the palatability of the meat. Meat from intact males is much more gamy tasting. It looks like the anesthetic kicked in just about the time the job was finished. |

And nothing I read or researched led me to believe the average farmer use's anesthetic for the procedure. The Goat is up walking around and eating this morning. For veterinary purposes, local anaesthetics are probably much easier to get. Ask your local veterinarian (one that deals with farm animals) for information about this. I don't have a problem with eating animals, and I'm very realistic about how meat gets from the pasture to the table, but I don't believe in causing needless pain. If it cost me a couple of bucks to give the animal an anaesthetic shot before nutting him, I'll spend a few bucks to do exactly that. CJ |

Can you do that when they're younger?
The reason I ask is because when I used to stay on my uncle's farm back in the mid 70's I helped castrate a lot of little piggies. He did them before they dropped when they were still really young. I'd stand there holding both their right legs in my right hand, both left legs in my left hand, and upside down. My uncle would use a simple straight razor to make a slit, and pop out the nuts and cut them off. He also used wire cutters to trim a couple teeth, and cut the tail off too. |
