[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 517177, member: 539"] I can't help you with the two cuts thing, I'm not sure why that would be necessary. We just cut off the lower 1/3 of the scrotum, pulled out the testicles, splashed with a mixture of a couple of drops of lysol in a 5 quart bucket of water, and turned them loose. All castrated calves were watched for the possibility of infection. We always branded/castrated before fly season but, if you wait til the flies are a problem, then you need to apply a fly spray and a screw worm spray. The problem with cutting the vas deferens is that it tends to cause more bleeding than one usually likes to see. [/QUOTE]
