Castrating the bull calf

One of our Missionaries is a cowboy from southern Utah. He offered to castrate Darlin's bull calf. You can see Momma's concern.

Once the little guy down and tied, it was time...

He actually trained his city-raised companion to do it. K7 and K8 will be doing the next one. Take sharp knife and cut here...

K8 held the leg while everyone watched.

Pull hard to remove testicles. Repeat on the second one. It was a very cold day, so no worries about flies or infections. The little guy is now healed and doing well.
