That's what I need. I ended up ripping it all down and tomorrow I put it all back up.

Some of these udders need heavy duty rear end springs to hold everything up, the one pictured is currently in the shop for an extra leaf spring......

My least favorite part about having goats.

Disbudding.

I'm always afraid I'm going to burn their brains.

It's harder on dark headed goats, even though we shave their heads.

John holds and counts, I burn.

OK, that first picture really threw me!! Not knowledgeable about goats and horn buds. They looked like eyeballs in the first picture. And the black looked like the muzzle of a "what kind of animal IS that!!"

I am SO dreading the whole disbudding thing. I bet you're glad that's over!

 

[Ferguson K]

@Bruce LOL it does look funny.

@NH homesteader Yes. Over for now. Junebug's twins are next week.

Neighbor who bought Aelia and Red decided not to do his and they're growing little nubs. I did give them their shots though, so he didn't have to.

Awe I kinda thought thats what that snap chat was of! Yikes. I am soooo not looking forward to this. I will be having a gal who does multiple different farms in the areas goats do ours this year.... And until I am ready to try myself lol

YUP! The glowing iron of screaming kids and struggling to hold them still.

We need to build a disbudding box, it'd be easier to hold them. Prudence's kids are both over 10lbs already and it was a LOT harder than expected to hold them still.
