Horns? Dis-bud? Polled?

ok, so I guess that means I will need to watch our little boy- our vet did his the same way he did our doeling....

x2 the figure 8 is one trick of the trade I am glad to have learned. Meanwhile---I had to fish my mom's goat out of the fence again this morning. I am really really ready for her to go to freezer camp. Just another month and no more daily fence line trips.

I've got a buck tip. I'll get a pic of the buckling we did last night so you can see what it looks like.

I've seen those too. Do you switch between the two then?

Yes. That is a bit of a pain. We did two bucklings yesterday afternoon when I got home from work. Last night after it cooled off, I changed the tip.
Doing does this afternoon.

Here is the pic of the burn with the buck tip. Took the pic the day after we did him.

Rhinehart.
You can get from Hoeggers
I think it is the x50, it's around $100.

I have to do kids today. We had the x30 with the fixed pygmy tip---big mistake! I don't even know why they sell the pygmy tip because it is really too small and we had to do several burns to ensure the job was done. The x50 is much better and no scurs here. We do the figure 8.

thanks, I'll look into that.
