      I read a comment on how farmers castrate sheep with thier own teeth. Supposed to be the safest way. Use both hands to hold the legs so you don’t get your face bashed.

      Surgical castration

      The testicles may be surgically removed. With this method, a sharp knife or scalpel is used to remove the bottom one-third of the scrotal sac. The testicles are removed and the wound is allowed to drain and heal naturally. Sometimes, people use their teeth to remove the tiny testicles. It is essential that proper aseptic technique be used when the surgical method of castration is used.

      yeah it’s a thing…

      At my friend’s farm, they put a bull in the cow’s pen and let them figure it out. People raised bulls specifically for breeding and nobody got in the way of a bull and a cow doing their business. That was 30 some years ago. I guess at some point people just needed more cows phacking in their ranch.

        My grandparents used to do that on their farm - hire a fucking massive bull and let it run with the heifers for a bit and ‘let nature takes it’s course’.

        They also got the vet in to do the AI if it turned out the bull wasn’t doing enough fucking.

        Hardly call it a ranch though - just a pastoral smallholding.
