People raised bulls specifically for breeding and nobody got in the way of a bull and a cow doing their business. That was 30 some years ago. I guess at some point people just needed more cows phacking in their ranch. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 months ago what is my purpose ... oh my god permalink fedilink source parent [–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago My grandparents used to do that on their farm - hire a fucking massive bull and let it run with the heifers for a bit and 'let nature takes it's course'. They also got the vet in to do the AI if it turned out the bull wasn't doing enough fucking. Hardly call it a ranch though - just a pastoral smallholding. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago Oh hey, it works that way at my family's farm too permalink fedilink source parent [–] protogen420@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 6 months ago it works by gruesome procedures permalink fedilink source parent [–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago I read a comment on how farmers castrate sheep with thier own teeth. Supposed to be the safest way. Use both hands to hold the legs so you don't get your face bashed. .... Surgical castration The testicles may be surgically removed. With this method, a sharp knife or scalpel is used to remove the bottom one-third of the scrotal sac. The testicles are removed and the wound is allowed to drain and heal naturally. Sometimes, people use their teeth to remove the tiny testicles. It is essential that proper aseptic technique be used when the surgical method of castration is used. yeah it's a thing... permalink fedilink source parent [–] skisnow@lemmy.ca -1 points 6 months ago (1 child) "Is it possible I've completely missed the point?
