Form of Castration: Banding
What is it?
Banding Goats is a form of castration that does not require an open wound. Castration by banding is placing the scrotum of the animal in a bander (pictured below) and placing a thick rubber band around the scrotum.

This cuts off blood circulation to the organs and within hours to a day the animal stops feeling anything in the scrotum.

After a few days to a week the scrotum will begin to shrivel up and eventually it will drop off.
