Do you mean pictures of you "doing the deed" to those poor kids? You DO mean the goats, right??? I can't believe you two are getting more snow than I am!!! We aren't getting anything but rain! Ditto!!!!! I miss him too even when he wasn't exactly G rated Ok, this almost made me spit my coffee laughing and you KNOW how serious I am about my precious liquid! And the same to you new old friend! Coffee is my one vice left. Everyone knows, including my Onc, that if you don't want to bury me with my cuppa, you're going to have to pry it out of my cold dead hand
Hello there. I have to say that chickens are a vice/addiction I've quickly fallen into. And I'm afraid they are the gateway mood enhancer to wanting other livestock and having thoughts about other homesteading adventures.
I was really only trained how to do piglets, newborn ones.
I totally forgot I had to do the goats. Duh....boy goats...wanna eat them....duh
Anyway...not sure how to kids are kinda big to use a knife on.....I don't have one of the rubber band gizmos, the person I know that probably has one would charge me to use it. I do not wanna spend money.
I just started researching..... trying to decide which way I wanna go.
Quote: for horses it involves
split the sack let the glands drop and shred the connections with the knife.... Dont cut anything straight across except the skin... Weight of the skin and fat will seal off the cuts.... course everything as sterile as possilbe. There is also a tool to crush the connections ... again to keep the wound from bleeding.
With horses they have to be hosed with cold water and longed a couple of times a day while the swelling goes away. takes about a week.
No stitching only an antibiotic shot. Of course I am going on info from the last time I had a horse gelded.... about 35 years ago.
