Castration of Piglets - Trial run

I would say the initial attempt at castration was a success, although 4 boys managed to escape the snip. We decided to just to the 2 and see how they recover before we end up maiming the entire litter. Unfortunately we didn't have enough free hands for photos but when we do the other 4 either this Friday or early next week we'll make sure we get some gory pics. And then i can explain the whole process step by step. So far the 2 are recovering well and showing no sign of infection, even though they rolled in the stinkiest mud not long after the operation. Beauty (their mother) was not happy with me and still holds a grudge because yesterday she charged me in their paddock and took a pot shot at my leg. I high-tailed it out of there as fast as i could, ending up with only a nasty bruise.
