Dehorning & Shots Served for 6

We had 6 babies all relatively close in age and it was beyond time to do horns.  Thankfully Keith was able to come up and help once again.  This time he brought a friend and his name is Matt.

So, all of the goats get 2 shots (Tetanus and Bar Vac) and then they get their little brains fried with a hot iron.  Dandy gets the special rubber band treatment since he is a boy.

The screaming is just a little horrifying to me so I really love the fact that Keith comes to hold them so I don’t have to.IMG_4993

First there were the shots…

And then there was the mean man with that hot iron…

Look Ma – No Horns!

Brandy is wondering why all the babies are screaming…

And this is how they all look for a few days.  It’s like they are trying to figure out what the hell just happened in there…  Of course Dandy is wondering why he feels a huge pinch between his legs – poor kid!

Thank you so much for coming and doing the dirty work for me Keith!  I think you have some home made cookies coming in your future. ;-)
