[QUOTE="cowpunk'd, post: 829366, member: 1265"] I use an emasculator - bloodless castrator - burdizoo. I find it to be less stressfull for the calf then banding. Occasionally they will swell up and act uncomfortable for a few days after but not like with banding, when they can have infection and discomfort weeks later. The biggest drawback is that with the emasculator, you can't see if the animal is done properly until months afterwards because his scrotum remains. Also if you get the anatomy really wrong you can kill them. [/QUOTE]
