They keep emptying the dang feeder! Their hay consumption seem to have more than doubled....I keep telling him he is putting hay out for our mini-herd, not just three goats.
I'm going to give disbudding a try myself this year. I watched a few get done and did our bull calf myself. He ended up with some scurs, but just minor ones compared to the horns he would have had. My friend has an X30 she said I can borrow any time I want - We have yet to find someone really local to us that does it for that cheap! I paid the vet $96 to have my 2 doelings done! Of course, that was with them sedated...
12 years experience disbudding Lg. numbers of goats. Very caring and experienced. $15ea. kid. And a little more for gas depending on where you live and how many you have to be done.

I'm actually about an hour + drive from this person, so I may have to take them to him. That would be okay too.
