Well I’m not expert - the only thing I’ve ever read about castrating pigs was in some novel in high school where a guy’s job was to tie the testicles off with string or twine and presumably after a while they fell off. Seemed pretty cringey to us all at the time.
I’ve heard they use elastic or rubber bands nowadays (at least for steer), but the family sold the dairy like 30 years ago so I’ve been out of the loop a while.

Know who else wishes they were out of the loop? Those bulls lol.
