Description from the creator

How to castrate a calf with a knife.
I have castrated thousands of calves this way and have never had any losses, complications or stags. It is a quick, reliable and easy way to do the job. I have seen the same job done using rings and have noticed that they are less reliable as they can break causing stags or can cause infection.
The blade of the knife is important. It should be a scalpel shaped blade. 3 bladed pocket knifes usually have the correct blade. Make sure the blade is professionally sharpened to a razor edge and kept sharp on a leather strop regularly while castrating calves. You could also use a scalpel that takes replacement blades.
