Just for fun, test your knowledge !!! do you know what this tool is ?
I know what it is it belongs to me. Sorry no prize except that if you get it right "YOU DA MAN"

 

As a NYC boy, who live the upstate NY farmland. I seen this and many other things on the farm. My ex farm girlfriend would get some of the city boys to pee on the eclectic fence

 

Opens hog rings???

 

Wrong end

 

I think Highwaystar has it right out of the box. !!! Let’s see if anybody else can get it !!

 

I think all the city guys should put some time on a farm. And likewise farm boys should live in a big city for a time. I had the best of both worlds. Next ask what a pullet is. Worked at L & L started pullets in the 70's for a time. Candied egg at a massive egg farm.

 

Proctologist tool?

 

I agree 100 % I was raised in the suburbs of Chicago but my mom had family that were farmers in central Indiana I spent 3 summers on those farms, one was a dairy farmer and he grew corn and soy beans I learned a whole lot about dairy farming, the other farm raised black angus (occasionally depending on his financial situation ) one year he had hogs which he always cautioned me "stay away from those hogs boy" and I did, he also raised corn and soybeans, anyway if you want to learn about a honest days work, respect, working together spend time on a farm !!! both those farmers were pretty poor, what they didn't have they borrowed or bartered for they helped each other, and one of the biggest things I learned you don't throw it away and buy a new one YOU FIX IT !!!!!! I saw miracles performed with bailing wire !! I truly wish that my girls could have had the same experience, after the aunts and uncles passed on none of their children took over the farms they all became nurses, engineers and 1 became a lawyer !! 1 became a forest ranger and eventually bought a small ranch in
Wyoming.

 

Putting rubber band on piglets nuts.

 

I've never used one on Pigs, but have used many on lambs, looks a little different, works the same....Tedd

 

Old school bander?

 

When I was in FFA, there was a similar tool that stretched a rubber band to castrate calves. My dad always used that method to keep a certain fly from laying eggs in the wound from surgical castration. That fly has been eliminated thanks to Texas A&M research. And a pullet is a young chicken just about egg laying age.

 

I should have known I was not going to fool anybody here !! much to diverse a crowd here !! now the story on it came into this Chicago/city boys possession.
On my wedding day my Best Man stood up from behind the table wearing the Elastrator apron that came with that tool after he gave his speech
he walked up behind me and said "you had the good sense to marry her BUT you know her job started 5 years ago when she first met you !! give her these so she can to finish the job" as he handed me the tool, he of course had been married for about 3 years !! once he told me what they were I laughed my *** off !! my bride thought it was funny too !! so that tool has been in my tool box for 45 years. I always thought I would find a alternate use for it.
so hats off to all you smart guys. Yup expand the band using the Elastrator, drop the boys through and release, send the poor beast on his way and in a few days when they fall off he's now a mellow fellow !! I have no idea where my best man got them.

 

That thing seems like something mid evil.

 

I think you had a sick best man.. Dr Pol has a crusher like tool for the bulls. Crushes the veins and arteries to the boys.

 

That’s just disturbing

 

I have one of those hanging on the mantel at Eagle Lake ( with other classic tools and implements) I always show it to any prospective boys the grand girls bring up to the lake. It's just a reminder, I think mine is for horses though...Tedd

 

Anybody getting the taste for Rocky Mountain/ prairie oysters ?

 

I waited on till I was alone with the boys my daughter dated. If I did not like him or had a bad feeling. Telling him, if anything were happen to her! Even if it was not his fault! I am coming for him. They never call her again.

 

That tool in post number 15 is a Burdizzo. We used them on older calves that we couldn't get the bands over the *******. Dad bought a stud Apaloosa one time that meaner than a snake. He had the Vet come out to "fix" him. After he was down the vet used one of these to castrate him. Calmed him right down.
