Thanks to Steve Forster for this cutting-edge illustration. It illustrates a method, perfected by his brother, Terry, for removing the back wheels of piglets.
Simply chase the piglet into the the milk churn, and then (once wedged firmly) quickly slice and pop-out as required. “The hardest thing is ignoring the noise”, said Terry, laughing warmly over a cup of tea as we shared this touching tale.
Using this method, he was able to remove the testicles of over 150 piglets a day, instead of around 40 using the old “grab-and-attempt-to-hold-and-get-quite-badly-hurt” method.
Thank you for reading this educational piece. God bless you.
Glad you cut to the quick on this one, Andy.
Terry recounting the method kept me giggling merrily for nigh on 15 minutes.

I will never feel guilty about harming mice again. Er...not that I did mind you.
