pros and cons of castration

[ollie]

You folks are more advanced than we ever were. All my growing up days we just used a pocket knife. Very sharp (at least in the morning) but still just a pocket knife.

Agreed Craig. Pocket knife is also good for eating your apple at lunch.

Right on both counts. But don't forget cleaning your finger and toe nails.

We hired a French guy in once to help us with the castrating. The first day, while we were out cutting the sheep, he asked what was for supper, so I told him we were having sheep fries. The second day we were out cutting the bulls, and he asked what was for supper and I told him we were having bull fries. The third morning he got up and asked what we were having for supper and I told him tonight was french fries. I never saw him again, didn't even stop in to get his paycheque. :roll:

Not really a matter of being advanced. I had two pocketknives. My work knife (found it on the road, it had a broke handle) I used for things like cutting rope and baling wire. So it was not real sharp.
I didn't want to use my good Barlow knife for castrating because I wanted to keep the edge keen in case it was needed for Saturday night social work. This is how I got started using other types of blades.

What would that be?

Sounds like he's keeping his blade honed for when he runs out of ammo.

I would really rather not go into any more detail.

You can take a look at the book
"Pistols and Politics" by Dr. Samuel Hyde to get an idea of what the Florida parishes were like.

If interested in the subject, go to
Amazon.com
Search for Pistols and Politics by Samuel C. Hyde
Scroll down and read reviews.

This was all before my time of course, but there was still a lot of "bleed" over.

Yep. Come on down to D + D's cattle surgery emporium. Just one visit and we'll guarantee that those nasty testicles will never bother you again. :lol: :lol:
