First method is called Elastration. The scrotum is banded above the testicles which cuts off the blood supply. The testicles should fall off within a couple of weeks. The second method uses a Burdizzo device to crush the spermatic cord causing testicular necrosis. Elastration performed by Natasha Phieffer. Clamping performed by Bru Mille. Instructed by Louise Calderwood.
Surgical castration is the most painful for the animal and carries the highest risk of infection. Both of the methods in this video are animal welfare approved. See white paper for more info: https://www.animalwelfareapproved.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/TAFS-9-Beef-castration-2010.pdf
