Need to Castrate Anything?

[Bull]

If so, here's your tool:

I can't tell how it works from looking at it, but it does make me cross my legs.

That doesn't really explain it to me, but maybe I don't need it to be explained...

It uses little rubber bands about the dimension of a Cheerio maybe a little bigger. You fit the rubber cheeri-O and squeeze the handles it opens the cheerio up to fit around the offending body part, cutting off circulation and causing the offender to necrose and die and eventually fall off. Works on lamb tails too.

 

[Bull]

Wow. So the balls just turn black, crusty, and shriveled and then fall off?

Gross.

 

[Moose-LandTran]

I think i should buy it and make sure everyone at work knows i have it.

If you have a young daughter it is a must have to keep by the front door!!

Like a BULL, for instance?

That sounds sooooo wrong .. ouch

It looks like they still make them and a new one is a little more than ten bucks.

I like the "clinical" description:

The specially compounded rubber ring is easily put in place with the Elastrator, and left there. The circulation is shut off, and any sensation of discomfort passes quickly as the part becomes numb, and eventually falls off. Opens up to 2" in diameter. 9-1/2" L. 2" opening.

Discomfort passes quickly, huh?

They make an entire line of these things including a "tri-band" that looks pretty scary.

Anyone care to mail one to an elected official?

Thats what happens, seen it many times. Got one down in the barn

The castrator or the balls?

 

[DHS]

I still think that is better than how Mike Rowe did it on dirty jobs!

 

[walrus]

The castrator or the balls?

In the old days, both, now just the castrator. No critters except the dog and the vet took his balls

Even more scary is that there's whole groups of people out there that use this tool on themselves:

Pretty darn twisted if you ask me.

1. Holy ****...I am not even going to click on that link.

That kind of looks like what my Doc used when I got my vasectomy. He hit a nerve or something while he was doing it and I thought he shoved a live primary from the electric pole in my groin

This thread has gone as horribly wrong as a thread can.

This thread has gone as horribly wrong as a thread can.

I'm not sure a thread that I started about a vintage castration tool could go in a much different direction than it has.

Really though, I had no idea how that tool worked and I wanted to know. I live on an old farm, but I'm not a farmer, so some of these down-and-dirty processes are completely alien to me (which is ok!)

 

[porschedude996TT]

My AG Science instructor used his teeth to casterate lambs and pigs. Yuk, I could never do it...

do it. i dare you. i bet you have nightmares.

Did you click on it, for real? What's in there?!

 

[Treeman]

You city slickers might be surprised what goes on in animal husbandry (farming). Life for those that make it past the castrators isn't as much fun as it should be either. Imagine taking your 8 year old 4 H child to an ag. show and having to explain this to them:

Disposable artificial equine ******

Blow up doll extrordinaire

 

[Snappy]

WTF ? ^^^^^

 

[Bull]

That pic isn't as bad as when Mike Rowe was shoulder-deep in a mare's bajango....

 

[sk farmer]

i have used and will use the elastrator on young calves. it is about as easy, safe and humane as you can get. taking a 500 pounder to the vet to get fixed is not real fun. that stuff treeman posted is for real. a trip to the stockyard in early spring usually has a vet with many layers of clothes except for one arm. for some reason that one arm does not get cold??????

Hey, At least he's getting his.......... And as a guy, isn't that the most important part?


When I was younger I helped my uncle and cousin on their farm a few times when it came time for the fixins.... The first time I was there, I got to hold the bulls down while he used his old Buck knife. The next year he had one of those banding devices. I thought it was definitely easier with that than with the knife. they kicked around a little for a few minutes then after awhile, they seemed to not even know they were there.

This thread makes me cringe Vasectomy was bad enough !!

Real farmers use their teeth.

Hey, that's better than the other way. I always felt bad when we did ***** samples on bulls (I worked at a vet clinic). Nothing like shoving an electrified probe up the bung and cranking up the voltage until their pencil gets some lead in it.

 

[speed bump]

These pliers are easy to use but it sure takes those little steers to be a long time to become friendly again after you do it to them. I mean cmon all I did was throw what basically an O-ring around your balls, tattoo you and throw a tag in your ear you don't have to be that mean.

On a related note I like doing calves they are usually easy and friendly (unless mom comes along), we had to have the vet fix my sisters steer proper this summer and by the time he was set to go you could of done 10 calves.

So i clicked on the link and then got suckered into reading this losers castration story. Apparently he was a husband and a father and then castrated himself. Not once, but twice! The first castration was only partially successful. Now has no desire whatsoever for any ****** activities. What a freakin MESS!

 

[walrus]

Lots of things go on behind the scenes when raising animals. Most folks have no idea nor do they want to know.

Sure it could... it could degenerate into a debate about how the castration tool industry has sold out to China

Did anyone click on this link and then click on the Elastrator link? I won't post the direct link, but it's pretty graphic.

 

[ryan_289]

We do it the old school way. Run em in the chute. Have someone stand above them and hold their tail straight up and tight. ( it pinches a nerve or something and they cant kick) Cut the bottom of the sac, squeeze one out and pull till it rips the cord. (less bleeding) squeeze the other one out, etc, etc.
