Before I castrated horses I’d palpate the testicles to see if there were a) two of them and b) the scrotum wasn’t filled with taenia, or intestines. I once palpated a scrotum and thought I felt testicles but when I made the incision I realized they were fecal balls from the intestines. I then had to pull the intestines back up through the inguinal canal via a rectal and suture the scrotum back up. It was not a pleasant experience.

Used to castrate calves in about 3-4 minutes. Ate alot of calf fries.
