How much stuff do ya'll figure has been screwed up followed by these famous last words "Well thats what they said on aldeer!"

When I was a teenager and helped my uncle, I was the person that held the back legs. Whoever said they were some squalling and squealing little jokers is correct. Of course if I was being de-nutted I'm sure I'd squeal too. I used to hate when he called and told me we were going to "cut some" in the morning. Never knew whether it was going to be pigs or calves until I showed up.
I remember my uncle used to spray some purple stuff on the empty sack. He said it was for the flies.

or tie them long ways around a tree . lol

during hot weather we used to rub grease on them after we cut them .

We usually put pine tar on them to help stop bleeding

Yep when I was young I seen the Old timers do that..I'm not sure if it was grease or motor oil they used though....

We used kerosene. I don't know why but that's what the old guys I knew used. And the nuts fry up real good.

For some reason I'm reading this and my legs are closing tighter and tighter. Daniel, you should video this process and post it up.

All that I can add, to what Dr White has written is to be sure and make the cuts in the sack up and down not across, that way the fluid can drain.

Another thread worthy of this pic.

Now I know what happened to my best trailer.

Goat

And don't forget the blue antiseptic spray on the incision.

two reason . to keep flies off and to keep the other hogs from rooting on them .

we never knew what that was lol

I I don't use no spray whatsoever. If you have any water or mud hole where you are keeping it at. That's the first place they will go. Then they wash you blue spray off. But that's just me. I cut about a 125 to 150 calves a year. I cut bottom of sack clean off. Insert balls between fingers and rip, all in one motion. Hell I don't even get to have people to hold the tail.

A good tail man is worth their weight in gold on 500 pound plus calves though.

No a good hydraulic squeeze shut is.

I ust to cut between 550 and 650 calves a year and i did it the same way DW does it. Grab the sack, pull down, cut end of said sack off, then pull nuts and cut the string..

Yall let me know where to send them and I will send yall a mess of calf nuts next time we cut a few dozen. I bet coonhunter gets a mess every week he could send yall. I always figured a pig would be easier than a calf. Damn calves will suck them sumbucks up and make them hell to get ahold of after you slice the sack in half. I didn't figure a pig could hide them as well.
