Shots, Banding and Dehorning

You could safely say that I love all the fun parts of having baby goats but I detest making them cry!  I am very, very lucky because my hubby is great at the animal vet side of things and we have a great friend, Keith Headley, that is wonderful help.

This is a picture of Keith holding a little one down while Warren is dehorning with the hot iron.  Hunter is in the back counting off the seconds so the iron is left on just long enough.



Of course the snow was blowing sideways on the same day that we chose to vet the babies and Bessy's stall was getting coated.  The men put up a nice tarp to save her and the babies from the deluge of snow.

I just love this picture!  The triplets were so tired after getting poked, banded and burned that they all stopped moving and curled up together.

The twins on the other side decided to keep watch on us humans!

And here is Warren checking the work.  How cute!  Thank you sweet husband for taking care of the yucky jobs when it comes to the animals!
