"Side" Crusher
Crushes the spermatic cords but does not cut the skin or the arteries to scrotum. Strong, precise action. Testicles dry up and scrotum shrinks within 21 days.
- Easy plier action requires only one hand
- Small jaws reduce scrotum injury
- Excellent for castrating ram lambs up to 90 days of age
Specs
- 9.5" long
- 1" jaw
How to Use
- Ensure that both testicles are pulled down.
- Only clamp one testicle cord in the scrotum at a time.
- When doing second side, slide the side crusher down a little. You do not want the opposing marks to meet.
Precautions
- Never clamp the entire scrotum with single squeeze and never allow the opposing marks (one from each side) to meet.
- Do not leave pliers closed. This will relax the crush on the pliers.
- Make sure that you crush the cord above the testicle. Crushing the testicle will cause swelling.

Quality Built product but don't wait to Castrate, the product states it can handle ram lambs up to 90 days. We waited till weaning at 90 days and it was to late the tool was out matched and only cleanly castrated about 50% of ram lambs.

I received this device yesterday - very fast shipment by the way (and for free) and today I used it on four bucklings - Nigerian Dwarf babies about 7-8 weeks old! FANTASTIC DEVICE!
Thank you soo much for offering this quality equipment. Very easy, very safe, and just a relief to the alternate means of castrating. Thank you!
