ABSTRACT:
A clamp is provided for castrating livestock. The clamp includes a pair of opposed elongated members, each having a curved jaw and a handle. The members are pivotally coupled so that the clamp may be moved between a released position with the jaws spaced apart and a clamped position with the jaws spaced apart slightly. The clamp also includes a locking mechanism so that the jaws can be locked in the clamped position. At least one of the members includes a shank for engagement with the chuck of a power rotary device such as a drill. The clamp is used to rapidly twist the spermatic cord to cause it to break and form a knot which reduces bleeding from the cord.
