all done very easy.... it was a small mild mannered kune pig so not to bad i managed to grab its leg while it was feeding, i managed one cut with the secaters but couldnt hold it with one hand and cut accuratly, so i got someone to wheelbarrow it while i got 2 more cuts and it came off, no side effects and it was hard to tell which one it was once they all regrouped.  a quick slosh of witchhazel, thats all i had but wasnt needed as it had only been on a couple of days so hadnt resticted growth and swollen, wouldnt have liked to attempt a large pig.,,, not bad , had these pigs 8 months and thats the only problem, no vets, nothing.
