We didn't do logging today.
An Amish friend needed a ride to the hospital for his recovery/checkup/followup.
So I just got done castrating 20 pigs and 12 bull calfs for him.

You use the Spey blade for all that, or ~10 per blade?

I don't use the spey blade, I use the main.

Yeah, my understanding is that is what most actually use for castration. I was more curious if you’d use one blade on 32 animals, or if you’d mix and max. And how often do you strop/hone/sharpen if you’re just using the main blade?

I use a slick.
When I feel drag I touch it up.
When I switch species I put the blade in a pot of boiling water wipe it off douse it in peroxide touch it up & keep going.

Lord knows you wouldn't want an unsanitized blade used to cut the cajones off a poor pig. That would be adding insult to injury.

Infection spreads easy from 1 to another if you don't.
Then the meat from either gets too tough for market, you can only sell the hide.
