SURGICAL ONLINE Castration Plier, Burdizzo Style, Stainless Steel 9 Inches Length by - Veterinary Instruments - Livestock Lamb Cattle Goat Emasculator Banding

Easy to use of 8 to 10 week old kids

Great tool for the job.

Very sturdy, hefty size, for me it took 2 hands to clamp, so you'll need a 2nd person helping you (maybe a 3rd person if the goat is over 3 months old). Disclaimer, I ended up with a failure using this burdizzo but that was my error not the device's. I didn't hold it in place long enough and I waited until the boys were full grown to do it. If you burdizzo at 3 months you won't get any failures.I think the Burdizzo is a much better device than banding. The goats bounced back and seemed to have much less discomfort than with banding which causes days of pain and can get infected.The Burdizzo is a one and done sort of thing. Remember to keep the clamp in place for a good long time (MORE than 15 seconds... this was my mistake).

Good quality. Good construction.

Purchased this to use on goats as the ones used from the side were out of stock and these were much cheaper. This seems to be built well and would last for years if properly maintained.I had good success using these, however, I would much rather have the side ones. These are quite a bit cheaper if you financially challenged.
