How long after are they still crying? I don't have to do any babies until next year, the breeder is going to show me how next month. but wondering if they bounce back soon. :hide

Mine *start* crying as soon as I restrain them. Then as soon as you put them down they're fine. I bottle feed mine, so I give them a bottle right afterwards and that makes it all better. :) Usually they'll run nurse mom if they're on the dam.

They don't cry at all afterwards. Only before when you restrain them. Actually they hardly make a sound during because by then they've settled down a bit.

Thanks, good to hear...I will be doing it by my lonesome (with a kid box ) and the crying while I was doing it would kill me.

I think they came out pretty darn great :) The 3rd pic looks the BEST to my eyes - but the others look like a fine job too!

Did you spray anything on there when you finished? Some people like that silver stuff (alushield I think? IDK...don't use it myself...) Or blue kote or that yellow one (another I never have bought, couldn't tell ya why)

Just wondering...we were taught to and always do...The explanation give us was along the lines of "Goats can scratch their heads with their hooves, other goats can step on them, and that's an open wound and hooves are dirty - so always spray it down." (and then she sprayed blukote on there...funny old lady we learned from...)

Yes. Blu Kote, but I read not to do it until the next day because the disbudding is a clean wound. So I put it on there the next day lol.

LOL - I was hoping your answer would be something CLEAR that didn't stain EVERYTHING it rubbed on! Oh well...I can always wish right? :)
