[QUOTE="Dusty Britches, post: 276808, member: 1900"] I actually throw them and tie their legs. I do it when they are less than 2 weeks old, preferrably right after birth. The older they are, the harder it is on you and them. It's like docking tails on puppies - do it when they are born and there will only be a spot of blood. Wait, and it become a medical procedure at the vet's. I cut the bottom 1/2 to 2/3 of the sack off, then pull the testicles out about 3-4 inches so I can easily access the cords. Then I use the back of my knife to scrape the cords apart or I just rip them apart with my hands. Don't cut them. Then I spray iodine on the cut. Once you do one or 2 it gets really easy. Just 3 or 4 steps. That's just what I do. When you do their 3-4 month vaccinations, but at least 6 weeks before you sell them, give them a growth hormone. They will more than make up the weight difference of not being a bull. If you band them - don't use implants. If one testicle slids back through, it will cause a lot of problems. How many do you have and how old are they? [/QUOTE]
