Answer 10

hahahahahahaha

Answer 11

I castrated my own sheep.

I do their tails too.

I use an elastrator. All you do is grab, and put a rubber band around them. Or you could use a knife and burdiso (spelling?) I helped a teacher do that once.

Its not hard to castrate sheep, but cattle I probably will do in college.

Answer 12

Sure I have! Farm girls or wives can do it all, from assisting to difficult births, cutting bull calves, artificial inseminating, palpating, vaccinating, putting up hay crops,repairing fences,  then going to the house & cooking supper while taking care of the kids!!

Sometimes a man isn't around when you need one!

Answer 13

Glad i never have to castrate a farm animal...

More power to YOU who must to do it, sister!

Castrating means removing the testicles...

Answer 14

I worked with my husband on a hog farm a long time ago, and the guys talked me into wielding the castrating blade one time and I never did it again. I felt really bad for hurting the little pig, he squealed so loud. I did however notch their ears and clip their tails and teeth and give them injections on a daily basis. Actually, I did everything but castrate.

Answer 15

Yeah, they are called veterinarians.

Now a days the majority of vets are women.

We learned how to do castrations in vet school.
