SW OH
I used to the day they were born, until a cow tried to kill me. I would catch calves in the pasture and tie them to the gator with a halter. Take a pair of good, sharp scissors and cut just a little off the bottom of the scrotum. Then milk the testicles down and slowly pull them down until the cords stretch apart. A piece of string around them helps since they are slimy and hard to hold on to.

No blood, no mess, very little stress on the calf, and it's easy to count to 2. I want to go back to this if I could just keep the cow away from me.
