Has anyone every seen a video of a beaver getting milked for the castor?

Weird question but I heard of it somewhere, thought it would be cool if anyone knows about it.


******* I save my sick days, because come winter, I'm gonna have a bad case of trappin fever *******

What is being referred to is just pressing down on the castor bulge and holding a container to the cloaca to collect the juice as it come out. Not anything fancy really. Commonly there's a lot of liquid in the castor pods during breeding season. When you skin beavers and pull the castors you usually lose at least some of it anyway.

You may have just found an environmentally friendly alternative to "Almond Milk". smile And just think how good the Beaver feels afterwards.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Be sure to butter up with Bag Balm before banging that beaver.


Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Weirder question was the beaver dead or alive?

There was a video a while back "milking" castor from live beaver for food use.

Well, if you want to take the thread to that side of things how about sexing beaver? The trappers that live captured beavers for the transplant programs in the 30's and 40's had to sex all those beaver to make sure they released both males and females. Wanna know how they sexed 'em? Let me put it this way....a buddy of mine knew one of those trappers before he passed, and he claimed he should likely hold the Guiness World Book of records for the man that had stuck his finger up the most beaver a$$'s!
