View Full Version : Castration Rings!!!
For those of you from the tracking weekend that are looking for these, http://www.farmrite.co.uk/ are doing them at £1.76 inc vat and p&p (in the uk) for a bag of 100.

Go on, tell us what you use them for.....?
Seems like a whole new ball game.....
Basicaly you roll them up and down your tracking stick so you can mark stride length ;-)
Ed
Thats really cheap, good find Ed. :biggthump Shame you only need a couple though, you'd need to do a lot of tracking to go through 100!!! What will you do with the rest?
Thanks! Will try to get some from the local farm stores first. Going to make some tracking sticks for the kids too. Do you think I could get away with making shorter ones for them? Otherwise they'll be taking each other's eyes out if I make them full size.
BTW we found some great tracks on the beach today and we tracked a man with really big feet and a really big dog for ages only to find him coming back towards us! :oops: :shock: :oops:
PS. say hello to Karen for me! :wink:

Well funnily enough I've already had a couple of pm's from people from the weekend asking if they can have a few ;-)
Ed
you could always get people to send you SAE's for them :-D
speaking of which could you bring some with you this weekend
As these perish quickly I have found that an easily replacable method is to use elastic bands - I like to colour code these and have four - 2 x red is for distance in between prints - 2 x yellow is for width of prints.
Works for me!
Plus if pushed the bands can be used for other stuff too.

i was just going to suggest that gary,i dont do any tracking but those seem the better option to me.
Excellent tip about colour coding the rings. :biggthump
:-)
Ed
if you go into your local diving shop they should be able to provide you with O rings the right size, these come in green or black and will last much longer than castration rings
however they will not be as thick so they might me more difficult to roll up or down the stick
what other forum could you have a nice relaxed discussion about castration rings and there subsitutues? :lol:
