What Knife do you use for Castration?

You can. But next time you’re at the local grocery store and get some good meat, remember this is how you were able to buy it.

No worries, I’ve helped out my friends over the years. I’m a mechanic by trade…

There’s lots of ways to trade services if you’re in the trades 😉

Yup, the majority of male cattle are castrated for a multitude of reasons.

Not the least of which is taste and texture of the meat.

Have you ever eaten meat from a male? Pigs, cattle, even chickens are castrated if they are going to be eaten. Stallions whose bloodlines aren't good enough are turned into geldings just because they are easier to break, train, and handle. Horse castration is both difficult and dangerous.
 
A sharp one! Not something I've ever done or hopefully ever will but perhaps an Esee Izula or similar all metal knife (easy to sterilse/clean etc...)?
 
Well I've heard it all and I heard it here first. I can't unsee that post so I'm gonna use my castration knife to cut my eye balls out. See you guys around 😉
 
Me and a buddy went to his brother in law’s family farm and watched this done. After we smoked and drank our minds to mush on gin the night before. Needless to say, I didn’t pay much attention after I saw the first couple done. They’d grab the sack, slice it off with some short fixed blade, then SUCK THE NUTS OUT AND SPIT EM IN A 5 GALLON BUCKET. Then they got a couple shots and a brand. Smell was lovely. :rolleyes:

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Me and my bud were f@ckin green. Just swooning. We didn’t turn down the bbq later though.
 
'Rocky Mountain Oysters' anyone?

We'd work cattle every spring. Big cookout afterwards for all the ranch hands. This dish was offered up to the adventurous...or those who weren't picky eaters...
 
I've made it my life's mission to maintain a safe distance between knives and testicles.

But as far as meat production goes, to those responsible for supplying us with delicious animals to eat, you have my eternal gratitude :) .

That sounds...unsanitary.

Steer vs bull

I find it mildly amusing that the Texas Longhorns' mascot is a steer. ;)

When the Saami castrate reindeer, they use their teeth.

I actually did my report project for my "World Cultures" class in college on the reindeer herding tribal Samoyed folks of Siberia, (similar culture to the Sami,but less integrated and more old school traditions as they are more isolated).

What an interesting culture...

This is why I’m a contract barbecue-er. I’ll pay.. a guy..to wack Daisy.
If it becomes DIY, I’ll be a vegan.
 
If we are castrating terrorists (as was suggested): why not just wet their sack, and attach a stout 220 volt power source?
50 amps will leave them singing soprano!
Oh! A Smatchet to the throat can be used to shut them up!
EDIT: works equally well on Politicians...

I disagree with all of you saying bands, at least on cattle. I've seen bands miss one testicle more than once. You take a major dock on that animal when it sells, happened to me. I asked my vet, my large cattle raising brother in law and a well known Wyoming ranching and ABS custom knife maker what they recommended. All said cutting. I can give you the details on how to do that if you really want it. I've use the spey blade on a stockman folder but any small, very sharp knife or scalpel will work. On hogs my grandfather did it semi-professionally with a single edge razor blade.
