So I've read random sentences mixed in with castration and this one never gets explained or in general makes no sense.
Why would you leave the testicles in the body cavity, but remove the scrotum? Sounded like a weird, greedy looks issue than anything important.
"Short-scrotum rams-
Less pain is associated with making a short scrotum ram versus a wether lamb. A short scrotum is a ram whose testicles have been pushed up into the body cavity and had its scrotum removed. Short scrotum rams are superior in performance to both wether and intact ram lambs."
Is it a ram that can breed, ram that can't and just for better meat? What the heck is the point other than confusing people that it's a wether and slightly safer than a ram who obviously has dangling parts?
And if this is a non-breeding ram, why would I want to castrate with testicles if it's less painful and can be done sooner than a full castration? If the dangerous ram thing is set aside, any other reasons?
