Title: I Know What It Does, but WHY??
Post by: dimwittedmoose51 on November 11, 2013, 08:35:15 PM

This big load of tools turns out to have a bunch of strange things in it.  In no particular order.....

This unit expands elastic bands...would love to see the application.......has a Canadian patent too......Three photos go in logical order.  The pin at 5 o'clock locks it

Any help???  THX

Elastrator tool-http://www.sheep101.info/201/dockcastrate.html (http://www.sheep101.info/201/dockcastrate.html)
We've seen it here before- It is for docking or castrating lambs, etc.  For castration,  an elastrator band can be placed around the neck of the lamb's scrotum. Care should be taken not to place the band over the lamb's rudimentary teats. Banding will cause the scrotum to shrivel up and fall off in two to three weeks.

For docking apply a rubber ring (or band) to the tail using an elastrator tool. Banding is a bloodless method of tail docking. The band cuts off the blood supply to the tail, causing the tail to fall off in 7 to 10 days. Some producers cut the tail off before it falls off to prevent potential problems.
