Goat Castration-Band Method

There is no reason why  one person cannot band (castrate) their bucklings.
 It really is easy:

This is a 6 month old pygora buckling in the following photos
I tried to get as many close shots of this method when I castrate by myself- I rarely have help so I need to be able to do this alone- Obviously I had someone there taking the pictures for this series.
But this is how I do it and it takes all of maybe 5 minutes if that!

Here is the Equipment-
 

This is the Elastrator Open with band stretched- you can see that as long as the testicles will fit into the stretched band, you can wait until the buckling is older and more developed.


Place band on Elastrator- allow the band to go to the base of the prongs or it will snap off when you open the elastrator-
