    My husband went down to feed them that evening, hiked back up white as a sheet, he was so horrified he couldn't get words out except call the vet.

    There's a tab on the side of it that is used to pry it out. The teeth lift it up enough to get the tab under there. This is a long and heavy tool.

    The curve seems a bit small for a pair of bull balls I must say. Quite a bit smaller than that Burdizzo. And ouchies. o_O

    We use elastics. Now that I think of it, I’ve done it 4 ways. Check out a Newberry knife.

    Looks to be a hoof trimmer/nipper of some type.

    Looks like a old style tire chain tool to me.

    That's terrible. I feel so bad for them but the good news is the g/f is gone and the llamas survived.

    Thanks, it was early 2000's, a long time ago but I remember it like yesterday. Kid that bought the house (the one w the loser gf) defaulted, his mother then bought the home out of bankruptcy and has lived there since. She is an interesting character too..... we gifted the llamas later that year, of all things to a family that lived where near were we do now, and we moved in 2013/2014, The llamas did well though they were with long horn steers for awhile, both healed before they left our home. No more mountain lions or yotes or flipping stray dogs to bother them. They would be 27 y/o now, so not sure they are still alive but they are/were very good boys:)

    Hunting in Colo requires hiking in many miles to set up a base camp, then hiking more miles further to get away from all the yahoos, the llamas carried the tent and camping supplies and game for my husband. He loved them, you know, like the most of us, animal lover and these were basically pets most the year.

    I wonder could it be as simple as a bolt breaker?

    Hard to get a good look on my phone but they look like old iron worker rivet tongs.
