Properly restrain the animal and give a local analgesic. Wash and clean your hands and surgical equipment using an antiseptic solution. Position yourself at the side or rear of the calf and reach forward between the hind legs. Make sure the scrotum is clean. You may use a mild surface disinfectant (such as iodine) to prepare the incision sites.
Make an incision to open the skin of the scrotum. Pull the testicle through the incision. It will be covered with a thin, but tough, white membrane. Separate this from the testicle by pulling it away near the tip of the testicle. The remaining tough cord contains the artery, veins and spermatic cord. In older calves, use an emasculator to crush and cut both blood vessels and spermatic cord at the same time. Repeat on the other side. There should not be any tissue hanging from the scrotum once the castration is complete.
It is recommended that the animal be given a mild pain reliever after castration. Soak instruments in disinfectant between animals.
