An emasculator is different from an emasculatome.
An emasculator involves cutting and crushing both, and is used after the scrotal sack is cut open, to both cut off the testes and crush the cords and blood vessels to prevent too much bleeding.
An emasculatome is also known as a Burdizzo, and involves crushing only, and is done without cutting the scrotal sack. It disrupts the blood supply to the testes and they shrink up.
I plan on using an emasculatome this spring to wether any ram lambs I have.
Very similar names, which make it confusing.
