. . . who now hates me.

I am not bound for any public place, but for ground of my own where I have planted vines and orchard trees, and in the heat of the day climbed up into the healing shadow of the woods. Better than any argument is to rise at dawn and pick dew-wet red berries in a cup. ~Wendell Berry

I'm scared to even ask, lol
i don't have goats but did your baby get dehorned?
This is an Elastrator used for banding (castrating) male goats to make them wethers. Not pleasant for anyone and only slightly less tramatic than disbudding as far as I am concerned. He is fine. I have never had a problem with this procedure.
I'm glad I am not your goat! I think.
yup, i recognized what it was. yup, that baby boy goat is not happy to become a wether...
A very necessary ooooouuuuccchhh!
Poor baby boy! I am such a softy, I actually took my boys to vet to have them done when they were little! I just couldn't do it!
That's how we castrated our goats when we had them, and we still use one of those on the bull calves my Jersey cow insists on presenting us with each year.
We have dehorned full-grown goats using a band, too, but it's a slow process.
I just bought one the other day, I still have to do the deed. Not looking forward to it either.
Our little calves hate that photo too. B
hahahaha. I saw the picture and the first thing I thought was thank goodness I am not the one banding our new baby goats - it will already have been done. Phew!
awww poor goat! Pretty soon, people will be asking you "wether" it's a billy or a nanny. :) Have a blessed day!!
