We are getting two 2 month old goats, one is a male so we want to band him. Will these calf elastics work? They seem to be the same size as the ones I can find online, they measure 6mm on the inside.

New pig owners/breeders here. Any tips on how to tell if your pig is pregnant? We have 2 Berkshire gilts in with a boar, we think they are pregnant but we're not sure.

I look forward to asking lots of questions and maybe answering some if I can.
