For the standing operation, it is safer to confine the hind legs by a figure 8 rope tie above the hocks or by ordi- nary hock kicking hobbles, or to throw and tie securely in some cases. Young pigs are held by an assist- ant in either of several convenient ways. Heavier shoats are usually castrated on the ground, clean grass, held with the top hind leg forward by an assistant. Or they may be "hog tied" for the two front and upper hind leg. A heavy boar may be tied short by a loop around the upper jaw and castrated standing. In this case it is advisable to have two assistants hold a pole under the belly, well back, to keep the boar from lying down. The standing operation on boars is inconvenient for some operators.
