Remove wattles?

[Southern by choice]

I love wattles but I'm with you on the lamancha ears!!! I've heard or read really wonderful things about them and their temperaments but I just can get past those ears lol

Aw... how can you say that?

Look how cute...

Sorry SBC but I just can't see the cute.

It just reminds me of a burn victim cat I worked with one time.

I'm sure the babe is adorable I just can't get over the ears. Maybe there is a name for the aversion to lamancha ears...like lamanchophobia or something

LOL... Me too! The ears drive me coo-coo!

I really don't like them. A very long time ago when we raised pygmy goats we used to cut them off newborn goats. A quick snip and they're gone.

So I can just take scissors and cut them off without risk of bleeding?

Not just any scissors. We used curved surgical scissors and sterilized them before each use.
You have to know how deep you can cut. I don't recommend that everyone just jump into doing it. I'm a retired vet tech so I knew by feel where the best place to cut was.

Too funny! I hate the long freaky ears of the Nubians!
I love the no-ear and the Nigie ears!

There again I like cropped ears on dobie's and danes, and schnauzers etc! and ears thatstand.

Renegade- Your killin' me LOL- I have a weird phobia with some things. I won't snip snoods (turkeys), or combs or wattles ( on chickens)

I love to touch the soft little wattles!

Hmmm... I have surgical scissors. Too bad my neighbor moved she was a certified vet tech. Maybe I could just band them off like you would a boy goat?

I think the ears just look abnormal, where are they? What happened to them? Lol where did they go? Idk but this conversation has really turned!

Ok I can confess that my Moon, a pygmy, likes to kneel against my back and smell my ear and hair and it tickles! I call it whispering! I answer her whispers out loud when my DS is around and tell him she's whispering in my ear
