A clamp and method for castrating livestock is provided. The clamp includes a pair of opposed elongated members, each having a curved jaw and a handle. The members are pivotally coupled so that the clamp may be selectively moved from an open position, wherein the jaws are spaced apart, and a closed position, wherein the jaws are maintained in close spatial proximity. The clamp also includes a locking mechanism whereby the clamp can be selectively locked in the closed position. At least one handle of a member is adapted to be engaged with the chuck of a power rotary device. The method includes first making an incision in the scrotum. The testes are pulled away from the scrotum and the scrotum is pushed upwardly to allow unobstructed access to the spermatic cords. The jaws of the device are then positioned over one spermatic cord and locked in the closed position. The rotary device is then activated thereby rotating the clamp and causing the spermatic cord to twist and break. The process is then repeated with respect to the second testis.
