We took the first 2 goat kids today to be disbudded. That means something horrible, but necessary, getting their little horn buds burned off. In our almost 8 years of having goats there has never been a problem—until today when there was some bleeding on one of them. Too much. She now has her cute little head wrapped in gauze and we are hoping she will be just fine. I will spare you the ugly pictures I sent to June, our goat lady friend, when I was scared it wouldn't stop. Little girl was much better after we got back home and cleaned her up a bit.
I had taken the water samples in the creek before we left with the goats. Thanks to much warmer temperatures, there were no frozen fingers this time.
Did my science project bit in the kitchen after we got back. I still don't have the quality control results from last month to see if we are doing this right. Have to assume I am the perfect geek.
