The poo in shampoo?!?    


Wasn't there some hair care company awhile back whose secret ingredient was, errr, ejaculate?   Ugh.  Don't know how the FDA let them get away with that one.  Worse than spitting on someone's food....

(time to do some googling to see if I can find it...)

- - - - 

The brand was Kevis Shampoo.  But apparently  there's a whole host of others out there that use bull or whale semen and several threads on the benefits thereof.   Still, thanks but NO THANKS!

Ok, now there's a job description: you hold the Whale still. While I get the semen...

I think I would prefer to do the holding.
Your end is... well, I don't know much about that end of a whale.
Good luck.

Well, wait a minute. You use a whale stanchion.
it's a one man job.

But not on a lllammmaaa.
I imagine LLaaammaas don't man handle well.

Exactly!!!! I have those clippers but my problem is getting them to let me handle their feet. I am trying to do it the friendly way, not the forceful way and it is slow going. I just keep telling myself that no llama has ever died from overgrown toe nail, I don't think

I know this is way off topic, but it's something that really breaks my heart:

Ugh!

Sigh.... here next to the Border its an international issue. My son was never out of my sight or out of Voice contact from Me Mom or Grandma. Or under the protection of a teacher.

There was a case here in the mall of a Child about three years old being quietly grabbed up in the mall. By the time they made it to the exits she had her clothes and hair color changed.... Mall cop caught them.

I wouldnt have even allowed the "social experiment" I would have told him to find someone else.

Its a very scary world out there for children.... But you gotto know Most child abductions are not from strangers.

I refuse to touch that.

deb,

Since you are offering research, find me a llama training seminar in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi, or Louisiana.

As I said, I learn better hands on. Wish I could find one in northwest Arkansas. I really need to trim their feet, I know how, I am just having a problem getting them to let me. I am trying the "trust" kind of approach and I am not sure I have the patience for that.

Here is where I started

We used these on the ram.
One person holds the horns and the other person cut the hoof.
I have seen people use this brand on goats too.
They were my first pair of clippers 30 years ago. They are still my favorite. They are made of good steal, they sharpen well, and I have used them trillions of times. Literally not figuratively.

I tried to find those here for my goats.... but I found an online resource teaching about how to trim goat hooves and they said in a pinch just find a good pair of pruning shears the kind that act like scisors and have a pointed tip.

I found a pair of fiskers in the garden shop at Home Depot. they worked faboulously.

For what its worth My goats went five years without a trim till I found the YouTube video.... Funny thing the video came from a town not more than fifteen miles away.

My goats were not appreciative of their first trim... we wrestled them one by one up onto their play structure... My son held the rope and I did the deed. Rolled toes and folded under sides... Snip across the toes and work under the sides... gently...

YAY because we are such a dry climate there was no thrush or hoof rot.... just old dead walls that needed trimming.

Next goats I get will have fencing around some nice big rugged grainite rocks.... naturally abrasive.

I have also heard if you dont have rocks for them do keep their feet trim you can put a sloping wall covered with Asphault shingles or wood painted with sealant and grit sprinkled on while its wet. Naturally sand their own hoof walls on it by climbing up and down.

With Kevis I just sort of envisioned a back room full of teenage boys thinking they got the best summer job EVER.
