I can almost hear "It cretainly seemed like a good idea at the time' or "Hold my beer and watch this s***."

I'm thinking a little more than castration was going on here.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: Eh? | | Mike Rowe got to experience this firsthand. Biting them off is the "traditional" way of making castration pain as short-lived as possible. Banding them (as recommended by the Humane Society) makes lambs weak and powerless for some time.
I highly recommend listening to his talk (it's not really about lamb castration): Mike Rowe celebrates dirty jobs | Video on TED.com

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Fort Collins, Colorado | | Basque shepherds have used that method of castrating sheep for a more than a hundred years. Those who know agricultural and animal science history were aware of this. Today's shepherds are alone on the range at Christmas - USATODAY.com The good shepherd knows how to castrate the lambs the old-fashioned way — with his teeth. On the open range without clean water "it's quicker, easier and more sanitary," says Margaret Soulen Hinson, co-owner of the third-generation family ranch business.

|  | As a matter of fact, I DO have a warning label. | | Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Near Orlando FL | | | Where I come from, we castrated sheep and calves using an emasculator, not our teeth. But then, I'm not from Wyoming, either. Now I know why they say, "where the men are men and the sheep run scared."
