Very warped joke for you.
An American tourist went to Spain and while there went to a bull fight. After the fight the man was invited to have dinner with the owner of the bull fighting establishment. Because of the fact that he was a guest and a very rich man, the owner of the restaurant told him "As my guess, you get the special part of the dead bull and gave him a plate with the bulls testicles, cooked and presented on it. It was an honor and apparently a great meal which he shared with the other guests. The following year the man went back to Spain and brought a friend along. After the bull fight was over, they all went to the same restaurant. Again the owner told his guests that they would be honored with the prize. The waiter brought out a platter with a wide variety of food and a silver covered platter which he presented to the guests. The new guest lifted up the lid and saw two very small items on the plate/ The guest from the previous year said "Wait, what is this, they are so small?" The waiter replied "SOMETIMES THE BULL IS NOT THE LOOSER!!"

Never did that with hogs. They screamed bloody murder as we caught them. They were silent while Grandaddy denutted them and rubbed a little coal tar on the surgery site. Then went back to eating like nothing happened.

Black plastic and some rocks to weight them down works very well on a lot of stuff.

Scorching them with weed burners works well too...especially when they're small. Their cells boil and burst in a fraction of a second. You don't actually have to burn them when they're dry.

I've never been a poison user and if I ever spray anything like a fence line I'll use a little diesel. It's like a super fertilizer and you can use it sparingly.

Banding....we banded my son's show goat, and he b***hed for a week. Screaming in pain as his junk dried up. Perfect!!

Thing is, I'm not sure if the ones we have in mind can muster a testicle among the collective lot of em.


Wh**ever happened to a sharp knife and some tar to stop the bleeding? I'm getting old.

I've read through OPP, pulled weeds till my hands hurt, and still no satisfaction. I'm busting out the big gun. The backpack sprayer.
While I think most of yall are fine folks, some aren't in my opinion, so my frustration will be taken out on weeds.
After that, I'll mow, and listen to the grass scream.

Time to let it all go, and decompress.........

Have a good day as best you can!

Not to late to join the roundup lawsuit! Lol

Same thing with our bull calves and a couple of horses. None ever got infected or stove up.

I understand the frustration. however, today I have a better way to vent. The neighbors kids are two to three weeks old now, and there are a number of extra males. This is the day to castrate them, band them and let the testicles slough off. While I am doing that I will be thinking of a few Marxist dupes and naming the soon to be whethers after them.I am sure you can image who I am thinking of, and you are most assuredly not part of that group.

The neighbors raise Nigerian Dwarf Dairy goats. The extra males are generally castrated at 2 to 3 weeks. Most of those will be 4H projects for local kids, some will be sold as weed control to people who want goats for the purpose but don't want to breed them. The does, if not bred are very prone to mastitis, the intact males have a very strong odor at maturity but the castrated males, called whethers, are tractable and responsive, and make great pets, not generally housebreakable but wonderful as outside pets. One of "our boys", named Pete, has several he has trained to do obedience type excercises and dancing routines. My dad was a country vet and required that my brother and I learned about vet work, figuring that girls needed to do what ever the boys did.
