How To Tattoo A Goat

[@atexastouchfarm]

Thank you SO MUCH for all your videos! My #1 go to TH-cam channel!

[@Route66FarmandSanctuary]

Oh my goodness, Bob and I are going back to your videos to make sure we do things right. Emily is so little!!! It is amazing how long we have watched you and watched your littles get big!!!

[@randalllaue4042]

Again thanks so much, you are so patient with new followers. We had one “Feed store” in my town growing up, never knew what was going on inside. This helps explain stuff. Most of this stuff is common knowledge lost on new generation.

[@poundposh2391]

Little dude just got his ears pierced LOL. Thanks for all the great videos. I’m not sure I could do all you do but at least I know how after watching you!

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Lol! You could do it ;)

[@justme-uw6bz]

Oh i hope i never have to do that, i would have to get the vet to do it. I'm such a sook when it comes to doing that sort of stuff. Good on you for being able to do it

[@samanthamehler680]

Would love to see a video on how that box was made!!! Looks like it makes things so much easier

[@MillaRaeDeshibeau]

He was a rock star!! Whomever gets this lovebug is a lucky owner!! Glad the babies bounce back, I jumped when he did hahaha. But they are awesome animals!!🤗🙏🏽❤️

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Lol! He is a doll for sure. Bottle babies take all these things with a grain of salt. Bounce right back!

[@cowperson4763]

Thats the same way i tattoo goats on the farm that i work at. He is a lovely little buck kid.

[@mommy17406]

I love the idea of tattoos. My goat got his ear tag caught on something and it became infected. I had to remove the tag, keep it and put antibiotics cream on it. We don’t transport or show ours. They are pets but this is much safer definitely.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Yes! One clamp and call it done! Plus they dont have those issues of getting snagged and deal with them hanging from the ears.

[@OhThatNK]

Aww he's so sweet and he did great!

[@sherriharshman8527]

Not sure of your abilities just watched a delivery from a month ago Cammies labor you can easily pull out a baby at at the final push and open the sack especially when the baby is gasping for air. Turn the baby upside down and shake it or swing it vigorously to get the fluid out of the lungs so you don’t produce a baby with lung issues. I have been delivering animals for over 20 years and found this very successful!

[@lizouellette3072]

Excellent video! At what age are you tattooing the kids? One of the breeders we purchased goats from placed baking soda on the ears after the ink and rubbed in with a soft toothbrush. The baking soda created a raised area that made the tattoos easier to read especially on the dark eared kids.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Typically around 4 weeks old. I have heard the baking soda thing. I may have to try that!

[@frizzyhairandgoats8547]

What tattoo gun would you recommend? The the one in the discipline is not available anymore.

[@harshilpokarpokar6059]

Awesome love u crystal

[@lilbitatatime3763]

I bet you've done many goats ears. Does it feel like when you press on a stapler? There's no blood involved. Why green ~ because you like the color or for a reason? 👍

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

It's like a staple I suppose. Very little blood, if any because it's cartalidge. If you hit a vein they can bleed. I have only seen white, black and green for the tattoo ink. The green shows up a lot better. Especially on the dark ears.

[@jenniferneywick986]

Where did you get your box that you are holding goat in

[@syphon201]

Is there any chance you can recommend a good tattoo kit? The link you have says it's currently unavailable 😕

[@CatalpaCreekFarm]

Great video...very helpful I am getting ready to do my kid goats very soon. What happens if you accidentally hit one of those veins? Do you just apply blood stop powder? Thanks for all the great videos.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

They just bleed but nothing to need blood stop.

[@horsebabyhehe]

When I had the big herd we bought a second set of plyers to keep the herd letters in so we didn't have to keep switching. I'm rubbish at the plyers method. Do you know if adga allows hand written tattoos like with a rabbit tattoo gun? Also I'm going to be buying a kid box like the one you have in this video and a Nigerian dehorning iron. If you have an Amazon link that will benefit you I'd love to use it.

[@RoyalBlue4486]

As long as the tattoo is legible and matches their papers, they don't care how you do it.

[@Xehxna]

XD I'm hopeing to move in a year or so. So hopefully I can get a wither from you as a pet goat. Sorry if I spelled it wrong.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

You need two!! They are herd animals .and need another companion. That's just where it will start though. You'll get more 😂

[@lisahensley1452]

I heard you mention showing your goats. How do you get into doing that. I plan on getting goats and wanted to show. My kids have all been in 4H and I thought only kids did showmanship. Thanks for reading.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

You find an "open" show near you. Open means to all ages. It's not showmanship per say though. The goat is getting evaluated and can earn their championship where showmanship is more judging the kids and how well they handle the animal and their knowledge of the animal.

[@lisahensley1452]

@@BlueCactusDairyGoats ok ty for the info. I will check it out for the future.

[@PushingPerformance1]

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

In Morocco, we designate the sheep or goats 🐑🐐without removing the testicles.
