Dropped Jeter off this morning for the old snip snip. He was so nervous, such a scardy cat he is. I felt bad for him. He will be home soon enough, hopefully I can keep him calm!  He weighs in at 12.8 lbs now  |

| Sarah does your vet do lazer surgery for neutering? The breeder that I do business with her vet does and their recovery time is really quick, do to the fact that there is no stitches. |

Rocky Mountain oysters, mountain oysters, prairie oysters, Montana tendergroin or swinging sirloin are North American culinary names given to buffalo, boar or bull testicles. They are usually peeled, coated in flour, pepper and salt, sometimes pounded flat, then deep-fried.
Testicles prepared for satay in JakartaIt is a well-known novelty dish in parts of the American West and the Canadian Prairies where cattle ranching is prevalent. The name is derived from the Rocky Mountains. In Oklahoma and North Texas, they are sometimes called calf fries but only if taken from very young bulls. In many parts of Mexico they are referred to as "criadillas" and are colloquially referred to as huevos del toro (literally, "bull’s eggs" but huevos is also a Spanish slang term for testicles) in Central and South America. Rocky Mountain oysters are sometimes confused with lamb fries or animelles (lamb testicles), which are served in a manner similar to Rocky Mountain oysters. Boar (hog) testicles are served in some Midwest areas such as in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa. In other countries, testicles are known as sweet meats.
The dish is most commonly found served at festivals, such as the ones in Montana and Phoenix, Arizona, amongst ranching families, or at certain eating establishments and bars that specialize in it.[citation needed] Eagle, Idaho has the "World's largest Rocky Mountain Oyster feed" during its Eagle Fun Days (typically the first weekend in June).[citation needed]
The primary goal of testicle removal is not necessarily culinary. Castration in veterinary practice is common and serves a variety of purposes, including the control of breeding.

Here is a recipe
Mountain Oysters, also known as prairie oysters, are that part of the male animal which is removed in his youth that he may thereby be more tractable and less, uh, masculine. They are considered to be quite a delicacy. Some butcher shops sell bull testicles. These are good but the best source is from young animals. The preparation of mountain oysters is quite simple:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ingredients
mountain oysters
flour
salt
pepper
paprika
garlic
cayenne
Preparation
Season the flour with the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, and cayenne.
If the mountain oysters are large, cut them into bite sized chunks.
Dust the mountain oysters in the flour and saute in a pan of hot oil or deep fry. They should be tender on the inside and crisp on the outside.
Serve with horseradish sauce or cocktail sauce

And that in a nutshell is why I won't have my four neutered they might end up as someone's dinner! |

That even makes me wince! Especially the pounding part! Jeez!
