who knows anything about castrating a pig. please advise me on how to do it.

We make small cut in lower part of sack. Pop out ball. The. Take razor and scrape and pull cord at same time. and wallA u done. Don't cut cord clean. It will bleed worse.

Roger that...over..

And don't yank the nut pull strong and steady. And don't close up the sack after

thank for the info. Do you put something on the slit after to help heal?

Wear ear plugs. Those little turd heads let off some kinda awful scream when you grab a hold of his balls to pull em out

Use a snout snare to hold him. Back him off the back of a trailer and when his belly hits the floor. Cut him. Have cut 500+ lb boars like this. But u gotta be stout to hold them.

DW is our resident nut proffesional

Yup. I can cut a bull calf in about 26 seconds.

I'm going to stop hanging out with DW

I've never put anything on the cut. I've only done goats though.

And im going to start

OUCH!

you don't say

X2
I would be all drawed up after that.

I don't. That goes for sheep, goats, hogs, and cattle. But I'm not not auburn grad. Just a broke farmer.

Dont let the animal rights people read this they will shut us down

This man is Serious about having some nuts in his hands.

I feel even more sorry for the first pig you try this on after reading how to do it on aldeer.

The only thing we ever put on castration wounds is fly spray. Daniel has it down, just make sure to pull the nut til it tears instead of cutting like he said, it bleeds much worse from a clean cut.

How much stuff do ya'll figure has been screwed up followed by these famous last words "Well thats what they said on aldeer!"

When I was a teenager and helped my uncle, I was the person that held the back legs. Whoever said they were some squalling and squealing little jokers is correct. Of course if I was being de-nutted I'm sure I'd squeal too. I used to hate when he called and told me we were going to "cut some" in the morning. Never knew whether it was going to be pigs or calves until I showed up.
I remember my uncle used to spray some purple stuff on the empty sack. He said it was for the flies.

or tie them long ways around a tree . lol

during hot weather we used to rub grease on them after we cut them .

We usually put pine tar on them to help stop bleeding

Yep when I was young I seen the Old timers do that..I'm not sure if it was grease or motor oil they used though....

We used kerosene. I don't know why but that's what the old guys I knew used. And the nuts fry up real good.

For some reason I'm reading this and my legs are closing tighter and tighter. Daniel, you should video this process and post it up.

All that I can add, to what Dr White has written is to be sure and make the cuts in the sack up and down not across, that way the fluid can drain.

Another thread worthy of this pic.

Now I know what happened to my best trailer.

Goat

And don't forget the blue antiseptic spray on the incision.

two reason . to keep flies off and to keep the other hogs from rooting on them .

we never knew what that was lol

I I don't use no spray whatsoever. If you have any water or mud hole where you are keeping it at. That's the first place they will go. Then they wash you blue spray off. But that's just me. I cut about a 125 to 150 calves a year. I cut bottom of sack clean off. Insert balls between fingers and rip, all in one motion. Hell I don't even get to have people to hold the tail.

A good tail man is worth their weight in gold on 500 pound plus calves though.

No a good hydraulic squeeze shut is.

I ust to cut between 550 and 650 calves a year and i did it the same way DW does it. Grab the sack, pull down, cut end of said sack off, then pull nuts and cut the string..

Yall let me know where to send them and I will send yall a mess of calf nuts next time we cut a few dozen. I bet coonhunter gets a mess every week he could send yall. I always figured a pig would be easier than a calf. Damn calves will suck them sumbucks up and make them hell to get ahold of after you slice the sack in half. I didn't figure a pig could hide them as well.

We spray purple antiseptic on calves, scrotum and horns.

I thought I killed a dang 350-400 pound calf a few years back. Cut him, pulled them out and that sumbuck hit the dirt. I released the headcatch and he payed there for 10 minutes or so. I guess he went into shock. He raised his head and got up real slow and walked off. I had done made plans to skin his ass out. Never had it happen before or since.

FIFY

My dad used to raise hogs. You had to wear the smell of your hands. We ran a 300 pound pig in a 50 gallon barrel one time and just stood it up to cut him. Nuts were the size of base balls.

The biggest one I have ever cut weighed 700 pounds. He was long and lean and I would have guessed that he weighed no more than 500. The guy who owned him had just bought him at the stockyard and paid .06 cents a pound for him for a whopping $42 total. I don't know if he ever got the stank fed out of him, but it was a whole lot of cheap sausage.

You would do good pulling piglets, with them small hands.. J/k

I always got volunteered to pull baby goats for that very reason lol.
