Re: Clearing trail



Those wires are wickedly useful tools.  A vet once cut off the tips of a
cow's horns for us with this wire-saw.  The horns had curved in too far and
were pressing against the cow's skull.  The vet slid the wire between the
horns and skull and sawed outward.  Their shape allows them to be more
flexible and to reach places a rigid metal saw would never work!  They're
quite fast, too.
