. Animal castration, a book for the use of students and practitioners; . pastern and two hobble ropes on offfore leg—one around pastern and the other below the knee. Themain rope is applied around pastern of near fore leg (F).

The object of thisarrangement of the ropes (two hobbles on off fore leg) is thatwhen traction is made on free end of main rope (O) the off forefoot is raised or lifted off the ground. This in itself unbalancesan animal and puts it to a decided disadvantage, besides by lift-ing the off fore foot the animal will go down on the shoulder ofthat side and will in all probability receive an easy fall. Theanimal is cast as illustrated in Fig. 23 (second position), andsecured by taking two or more half hitches with the main ropearound uppermost hind pastern.
