A local vet uses an electric drill with a fork looking thing on it to pull them. She does it that way no matter how old they are. dun > I'm totally ignorant on this, but > I read in one of Joel Salatin's > books that at 90 days, he cuts off > the bottom 1/3 of the sack, then > pulls out both seeds by hand as a > removal method and doesn't cut.
