Elastrator Method

My goat Maxwell is still sporting his testicles and he was banded 6-6-11 so now what. I thought that it only took 10 to 14 days . Should I take him to the vet and have them removed ?? I'm not sure what to do.

  • That's so much for that feed back. I guess I'll just see what happens.
  • I don't know exactly how long it was before Diago's fell of, but someone told me about 2 months...and that seems accurate. I suppose it might very from goat to goat a little.

     

  • Our little guy Jasper took 5 weeks before they finally fell off....
  • I never really paid attention, but I can tell you that it definitely does NOT take 10-14 days. I'd say at least a month. Was it done with a real elastrator band? I've heard of people trying to use a rubber band, and that does not work. If the testicles are cold and shriveled up, they will fall off at some point. No need to do anything.
