[QUOTE="rynophiliac, post: 1279170, member: 21471"] I have heard different opinions on castration methods where I'm from. Some some just cut open the sack and milk the cord up then gently pull the testicles out with the cord which allows for less bleeding. Then I've heard others say don't ever pull them out as that can be harmful to the calf. They say milk the cord up then cut/scrape as high on the cord as you can. 'Is there any consensus or possibly studies done on this? Everything I've found is on castration vs banding but I don't do any banding. [/QUOTE]
