I was taught to cut sack on low point so drainage take effect. Small cut pop out nut , scrape cord in half "better healing ".Final step pack with PURE salt. 15yrs. no problems. Use a razor sharp knife...... Tut

With side cuts you can you make a small snip over each seed and they pop right out and you can use the cutters to get hold of seed but don't squeeze and cut the string but pull it out. Then you cut the needle teeth with same cutters, this really helps get by with less sedative for touchy sows that don't want to suckle, then using the cutters with v toward the pig you cut the tails off but not too close. The v side helps mash the stub to stop bleeding, and lastly you use cutters to notch the ears, so you know the sow they came from and other information. You obviously skip one of the steps for the girl pigs, lol.

We used to put cresote on the nut sack first then cut, squeeze and pull and cut the cord. They only tuched the nut sack to the ground once, the cresote burned and they did not do that again. ?this is 60 years ago......jk

If you've ever watched Doc Pol, that's what he uses. A rubber band wrapped tightly around the scrotum above the testicles. Eventually, as circulation is cut off from the testicles they fall off and heal at the same time. He says it's less invasive and not nearly as painful.
I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

A lot of research now shows banding the more "painful" procedure. Certainly I'm not opposed to either method however as each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
