Elastration involves restraining the animal, without the need for anesthesia or sedation (unlike most other castration methods), in a position that provides access to the genitals. Special elastrator pliers are then used to place a tight latex (rubber) elastrator ring gently around the base of the scrotum.This cuts the blood supply to the scrotum and testicles will stop with in 10 to 14 days and will slough away shortly after. Usually the  drop off  is within a week or two. Care is taken during the procedure to ensure that both testicles are properly descended and properly located inside the scrotum, and that the animal s nipples are not included within the ring. Elastration is normally limited to castrations done during the first few weeks of life, and it cannot be used for species where the scrotum does not have a narrow base, such as pigs or horses. It is commonly recommended to not use this method on goats until they are 4–6 weeks in ages. This is due to possible complications that could occure later in life. There are those who feel that this method is inhumane and choose to do other methods. These methods would include what some call the Emasculatome,
