Tattoo kit

[Southern by choice]

My goat friend has this and another set with a non-revolving head and they both work equally well. The release is nice. We actually don't usually use the revolving head- but we were doing a mish mash of goats that didn't all have the same herd tattoo.

We have been using a human tattoo gun on Lamancha tails for a few years. It works SO much better and lasts a long time. Plus- the USDA/AG people at fairs LOVE it because they can see it from 3 feet away. Judges too! We haven't found it to be worth the trouble for ears. It's nice, but it's hard to do well in ears with wiggly babies and the advantages aren't as great. She accidentally broke a Lamancha tail with the tattoo clamp years ago- so that was the reason for initially trying something else.

Do you have a pic of the one you use for tails?

I don't mind do the sides but we had to do a center on one the breeder forgot to do. UGH I hate center tail!

I like tails way more than ears. Most of the time they don't even flinch... unlike the ears.

I accidentally ordered this one:

It's 5/16".

Should I just keep it or send it back? I will be tattooing Saanens as well as Nigies...
