[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 8958"] I have nothing against elastrators, the only caution I would give is be absolutely sure you have both testicles in the scrotum when you snap on that elastic. If not, you've just either created a headache for your vet to castrate that remaining testicle later (been there, didn't have fun but got it done) or you've sent a "steer" off which will have bull taint at finish. The other problem I've seen is where the guy cut the band off after he put it on, can't remember why, but I had to amputate this stinking green mess which was leaking serum....because the blood flow was back into devitalized tissue....again, not fun! If you're careful, a great way of getting the job done, IMHO!<br>Good Luck<br>V <br> <br><hr size=4 width=75%><p> [email=vcane@hurontario.net]vcane@hurontario.net[/email] [/QUOTE]
