The top one looks like a de-horner maybe or could possibly be a cable cutter, and the bottom one is a clamp that was used to make steers instead of using a knife to castrate.

x2

The bottom one is what they used to cut a stud horse, they clamp it a little above and then cut, and it made it go numb so it wouldn't hurt as bad. the other was used to dehorn.

dang, winner, winner, chicken dinner, that what he told me they were used for, just couldn't and didn't want to visualize it.

you better run
