WE had a family friend do it years ago. Took a little nerve and a couple heavy sighs from him to help us to take it to the next level. We don't breed nearly as much as then. The market has dropped. We breed for the freezer and the rest pays for feed.. wishful thinking lol. We did really good back then. Chickens are where the money is but its pennies on the dollar..
But pennies make dollars & dollars make sense...
Pig buyers are tire kickers..

Yep. I decided to not go in to become a vet because I was unsure I'd be able to castrate and give needles to animals. I needed help with my pigs at 18. Fast forward to age 20 when I took over castrating the calves 140x.5=70 bull calves/year.
Then giving needles to piglets at the hog barn: 28 sows x 10 average =280 x2 needles each=560 needles/week = 29,000 needles/year to piglets alone.
280 piglets x52 weeks= 14,500 approximately/year....lol. I castrated half of those.

Yeah....I think I "could" have been a vet. 20/20 man... 20/20

You just took your meds again... I can tell.. Maybe snap them in half but first consult your Dr.

People would look. Just like if I wore plastic booties to the chicken sale.

Let them look,,,,At least I will be alive when Zombi fever takes them..
