Out-Back Ranch Medicine
Today, a huge thank you came from
many cowboys in the outback, and
from their animals. A Mexican-American cooperative effort including veterinary students participating in elementary procedures visited
ranches outside of town. Male readers may wish not to view further.
N.B. Original post erroneously stated World Vets participated. There is no association with the post as stated and World Vets. Parties with
interest in World Vets are encouraged to visit their website at worldvets.org.
They did feet . . .
Teeth . . .
Determined she was pregnant . . .
I.V. Sedations &
Castrations. The instrument is
simply called an emasculator.

That is wonderful that they the WORLD VETS with doctors, do this, probably for no pay.
Are there so many horses around that they do not want anymore?? Obviously castrating for a reason?
Do they then bray in a higher octave?
Inquiring minds want to know.

A castrated horse will grow taller, leaner & handsome. An uncastrated male will be shorter & broader with an unkindly temperament. Needs
it's own corral away from the geldings and the mares, each with their own corrals. Comes in for service only in February, with birthing in cool
January. They are better off castrated if not special breeders. An uncastrated breeder Donkey may have a name like "Titanic".

On the ranch we used to refer to it as "brain surgery". It changed their mind from a ss to grass.

Does the emasculator actually sever the testicles or just clamp off the blood supply to them and allow them to dry up? The reason I ask is that I grew
up on a farm and we castrated pigs with a knife but we clamped the bulls with a similar device, actually the vet did it, but they were not cut off
just dried up to nothing. An interesting thing about it was that the bull was in a stanchion and I held his tale above him. The vet said if the tail
was to touch the bull he would kick.

Emasculator is a tool used in the castration of livestock. Its function is to simultaneously crush and cut the spermatic cord, preventing hemorrhaging
while still detaching the testis from the animal.
The blade is always on the side of the emasculator with the nut that holds the blades in place, and should always be placed adjacent to the testis
("nut against nut"), so that the crushing clamp occludes the spermatic artery, preventing life-threatening blood loss.
