  1. yah..what is castrating???


  2. Our vet is a woman and she castrates horses, bulls and llamas.

  3. I once had a farm girl girlfriend.

    I'm glad she didn't castrate me with her teeth.

  4. what's castrating?

  5. well if you are one of those women who grasp on to things i guess it would make sense ouch!

  6. my girlfriend does everything that i do on my family ranch, including castrating, she loves working beside me, helping me with any chores that i have

  7. ya i had to do it to my goat for school project dont ever want to do that again i hate hurtin animals

  8. i have helped do it before, girls do just as much as the men on a farm, everything, even the dirty work

  9. Yeah I have castrated several bull calves.

    Its just not a man's job anymore.

  10. hahahahahahaha

  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.

  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!

  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...

  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.

  15. Yeah, they are called veterinarians.

    Now a days the majority of vets are women.

    We learned how to do castrations in vet school.
