Making this procedure LESS PAINFUL for the Baby Goats

- Disbudding baby goats is never a fun task, but we've found a way to reduce their pain during the procedure. Follow along as we disbud our triplet Nigerian Dwarf baby goats and try out best to do it in a humane way.
Hi there! 👋🏻 We live on a 1-acre farm right in the middle of the busy city of Phoenix, Arizona! Our names are Kevin & DaNelle, and we moved here in 2009, when our kids Ethan & Lydia were just 6 & 4 years old 🥰 Over the years we've raised goats for milk, chickens for eggs, built a fish/swim pond, planted fruit & nut trees, and grew a large garden full of veggies. We've also raised a bunch of other animals like pigs, sheep, turkeys, geese, peacocks, and more!
Now that our kids are away at college, we have settled into doing what we love most -- which is raising & breeding goats ethically to improve genetics. But don't worry, we'll forever love our goofy pet goats like Luna the herd queen & Willow the stump lover. We also still love raising chickens for eggs, gardening, tending to the fruit & nut trees, and growing fish in the pond. We use the fresh goat's milk to make cheese, butter, yogurt -- and we use that + everything else we harvest on our little farm to make delicious meals. Having a getaway from the busy world right in our backyard brings so much joy to us each day, and we hope it brings some to you, too. 🥰

You guys are probably the most humane farming channel I've seen you actually care about your animals, I hate seeing people slice bulls balls off and not use any medicine its so cruel
Ace ? Hmmmm I’m not sure about that THEY SLICE THE DUCKS HEAD OFF WHILE ITS AWAKE
Ryan Humphreys ok I'm not going to be rude I live on a farm and yes we cut our chickens heads off but for people like us there's not easy way to get anesthesia to put the chicken to sleep I don't know if this channel uses them but there's these come things that put the chicken in and they feel like a hug and their calm right before they die it's the way life is I hate to say it but it's very very true I'd rather eat a chicken that I had to watch or even cut its own head off then after what I've learned they do chickens right before killing them the way that them the way that stores do their chickens it's very gruesome but right before they kill chicken at a store they electrocuted to get it to calm down and also check out 4mg farms if you go to our website you'll find a lot more about how we do our chickens
Riley Pember ok I'm not going to be rude I live on a farm and yes we cut our chickens heads off but for people like us there's not easy way to get anesthesia to put the chicken to sleep I don't know if this channel uses them but there's these come things that put the chicken in and they feel like a hug and their calm right before they die it's the way life is I hate to say it but it's very very true I'd rather eat a chicken that I had to watch or even cut its own head off then after what I've learned they do chickens right before killing them the way that them the way that stores do their chickens it's very gruesome but right before they kill chicken at a store they electrocuted to get it to calm down and also check out 4mg farms if you go to our website you'll find a lot more about how we do our chickens
It’s part of having cattle they do that because they don’t want the bulls to be bulls they want them to be steers because steers can’t breed and are sold for meet not for breeding
Ace ? I agree but lol slice bulls balls off
Love the comments of “I’ve never had my goat headbutt and severely hurt another creature so this is wrong.”
AKA, “It didn’t happen to me so it must not be real!”
I’ve seen countless videos of your and you love and care for your farm babies. Keep up the good work! I’m actually considering this lifestyle cause of your lovely family. Thanks and God Bless!
zachanikwano exactly it’s like saying oh I never got sun cancer so I should never have to wear sunscreen
We have had them hit other goats and kill babies in utero, and make holes in barns. I have seen many on other farms get them caught in fences, on trees, with others and more. Plus to show many they must be dehorned. This last year I discovered see an article which a new procedure that is way better.
What people who don't live on a farm just don't get, is how dangerous a goat with horns can be. A friend of mine had to have her mini pony put down because her fathers goat slammed up into her belly. He punctured the skin, and intestines. They didn't realize how bad it was until the pony went down hill very fast. A big goat with horns can do a great deal of damage. And NO putting pool noodles over their horns is not a safe option. Other goats will eat it. I know someone who lost one of their goats because it ATE the pool noodle. Not good people. Seriously.
Thank you for more of a explanation.. I understand now but, they poor baby is hurting, I hate hearing it cry like that 😢
All my goat have horns ;^;
@@JubilantCharlie Theres plenty people who have goats as companion animals for other livestock so for safety that's why people have the horns removed, I have also personally seen goats that hung themselves on fencing and even plantlife due to their horns and passed away... they just aren't that smart of creatures and are too curious and playful for some environments to be safe. I think its very ignorant of you to assume that because someone disbudded their goats they abuse them :/ that lifetime of experience doesn't mean much when you don't accept that theres more than one right way to raise livestock
Amy Manoharan I didn’t have a goat horn hurt me BUT BOI DO SHEEP HORNS HURT (dont worry she didn’t mean it she was running really fast and forgot I was there)
How do they manage in the wild? You mutilate these poor creatures for your own convenience. Disgusting
FOR EVERYONE WONDERING- this process is so the horns don’t come up because goats can become aggressive and chase you and head but you with their horns
LPS Doberman Lover Thank you for explaining. before I read this comment I was like "and what is the point to this?"
Just because you take the poor goats horns away doesn't make them any less aggressive, if the reason you have a goat is for your kids to be around them then it doesn't matter if it has horns or not, it will still be aggressive and go after your kids, same with adults. You are only causing unnecessary pain and suffering for no reason
cheeseballfreak actually goats horns can pierce themselves or other goats with there horns 🐐
LPS Doberman Lover thank u
cheeseballfreak it’s not unnecessary you ignorant idiot, yes the goats will still headbut you and children, but they won’t have horns to scratch and cut you with. It doesn’t hurt nearly as much. It does make them s little friendlier as well.
I disbudded my baby goat, Snickers... we ended up having our vets do it FIVE TIMES because his horns kept growing back! Each vet in the office got a turn lol. Even now, he has little scurts left. Supergoat, I guess?
One and Only Viking Child Yeah all of the kids I bought ended up with scurs. I know with my bucklings it's really difficult because of all their testosterone. But the lady who sold us the doelings must've done a pretty crappy job of disbudding.
Super goat, super goat does whatever a weird goat can
That's pretty neat. I'm a city slicker and no nothing about raising goats, but is it common for the horns to grow back after deluding them?
Lynn Roberge unfortunately it's not as uncommon for disbudding to go wrong. Three of my does have scurs as do the two bucklings I bought this fall. Again the bucklings I can understand more because you are fighting the testosterone driving horn growth. But it shouldn't be as much of a problem with females. I've heard some promising things about injecting clove oil into the site and it prevents horn growth, that would be a much less traumatic answer! Because for all those who think disbudding is cruel, they need to see what happens to other animals (if they don't care about people) when goats get carried away and intentionally or accidentally gore another animal. Or get the horn stuck in a fence and it breaks off. That's not uncommon either. So you have to pick the lesser of two evils.
That goat will fight god I swear 💀
If they ever get sick and you have to put them don’t they’ll wake right back up as if they were taking a nap 💀
Very well done. I used to work at a vet in Orange county, CA and did this frequently for our clients. I like the squeeze box you used.

Great video! None of us like disbudding our goats for sure! I have never seen the numbing paste applied before.
why is it even nessesary ?
I hadn't ever seen that either but they did seem happy even faster and even the procedure was quite smooth
*That looked like one of the least traumatic and less painful de-buddings that I’ve ever witnessed. Well done!* 👏🏻
Aww I hate seeing them scream during disbudding!
They're screaming just because of the confinement and being away from their mother. As you can see, even with the numbing agent there's no change in their behavior compared to disbudding without the numbing agent. I've seen many of these procedures done and saw no difference at all. Even though it looks like a horribly painful experience, being disbudded isn't actually painful. The temperature is such that it causes an immediate third degree burn which means the pain receptor nerves are burned away instantly, and even without the numbing agent the area will be numb until nerves regrow there (the horns, meanwhile, will be dead and never grow again, unless there was a mistake in disbudding). As soon as they're out of the box and back with their mother they are happy and calm, regardless of whether this stuff is used or not. It might make the humans doing it feel better to put some goop on there first or afterwards, but it's really quite pointless from a humane standpoint and I wouldn't waste the time or money on it, personally. Regular disbudding is perfectly humane, and saves the goats, the herd, and the human handlers a lot of potential problems later.
are you joking of course it panful
fakecubed it’s painful but not nearly as much with out it.
mr cool lol ikr
fakecubed yes it is they where not crying befor I am not saying they should not do it I am just saying it is painful
Give them a shot of banamine before ... that helps my babies with pain during and after. No matter what you do they will cry during even with pain meds ... they don’t like being held still . I also give them a shot of cd&t after as well.
Love your channel! Warms my heart to see the way you are raising your children ! My children love our farm ❤️
I love this idea! At least this way you would know the crying asn't pain related. I might do it this way.
DONT TELL THEM WHAT TO DO
angel goddess studios calm down
angel goddess studios they gave them a tip. Jeeze.
@@pipertucker9716it’s a tip young child
I know it's humane to remove their horns or whatever it was you were doing, but this brought tears to my eyes... I'm not saying you were wrong. You are a great goat mommy,,,, but I wanted to cry with the little goats
Lynn Roberge finally someone that feels bad for the animals but doesn’t go complaining like they tortured it for life
@@JA-bu6xu couldn't have put it better myself
Great video, I'm sure most if not all the haters of disbudding your goats never raised a goat in their life. Haters going to hate.
roadrunner beepbeep finally I finally agrees with another person on here
Lillian games you already have people on your side you can just leave
roadrunner beepbeep They seem to be a much more relaxed farm setting than a ranch and they work much closer with their animals.
Donnie Thompson ikr
Oh, this is the part I'm dreading. I don't think I'll be able to do it myself, I'll probably have someone come do it for me at least the first coupla times. Unless we can somehow get lidocaine, maybe I'd help my husband do it then.
The nerves that can feel pain are burned away instantly and don't feel anything. With or without a numbing agent, the area will be numb as soon as the procedure is done. It's a third degree burn. The kids scream because they don't like being stuck in a box, away from their mothers. As you can see as soon as they're let out of the box and can go back to mom they're happy and calm and are clearly not suffering in any way. Disbudding is the most humane thing you can do for goats in captivity, as it will save them from getting hurt or hurting each other.
OK. I didn't say I don't believe it should be done- I said I don't want to do it myself the first couple of times. I am not comfortable doing it without observing in person so I'm going to have someone do it for me until I'm comfortable doing it myself.
Another breeder did it for me the first few years. It's really helpful to see it done.
Clever Kim's Curios
Clever Kim - is the lidocaine for you or the kids? *wink*
Hey guys! Today's vid is all about disbudding our baby goats. It's controversial and if you want to know the reasons why we do this, check out this video here: th-cam.com/video/TQ4U3KiRmw4/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching this video, love you all!
I have my vet do it . He gives a shot afterwards and the CDT also . I just don't feel comfortable doing it myself at this time since it's only me working my herd I like having the extra help in some areas like disbudding . Peace
goatgirl61 iiiiii
So many vets fail to do a quality job. Show your vet a quick picture of the proper final result: buds flipped out, orange rings and a touch on the spot that grows the spine of the horn, because that last part gets the scurs.
At first I thought you were killing the goats but then I realized you weren’t and I had this big sign of relief 😭❤️💜
Meg’s Vlogs omg same
So cute. Thanks for sharing with us. Lydia is so cute and involved with the goats. Love her! Hugs ❤️
Terra Ranch I agree!!
We live in a small city and our vets don't take care of any livestock. No chickens, no rabbits, no goats. That is all we can have in the city besides dogs and cats. The babies are so cute.
6996katmom rabbits are considered as livestock??? Thats like saying hamsters are cows..
No rabbits? Really?
@@suzieqm1 Ya that's what I'm questioning
The first goat deserves an Oscar for every time she put the thing on his head he cried and when she took it off he stopped
I just had my babies disbudded yesterday. It’s a very hard process to see or do. But one they are done they run around and act like nothing ever happened. It’s about 10 minutes of pain for years of safe animals, humans, and fences. The method you guys used seemed the most humane I’ve seen besides my vet putting some lidocaine in before. But you guys used what you had to do it. Love the videos!!
“ this is like her yoga poses every day”
LOL 😝😆
Yall are great, what's the numbing agent. So much better than the other videos of people doing it this is a lot better A lot less pain for the goats😊
I'm moving to a new house next year. En there will be goats! 😁 Here in the Netherlands it is illegal to disbud them so I hope that there not going to hurt each other.
You guys are great at disbudding! Most people don’t care about the goats and just burn them off with no pain relief. When good farmers like you guys ACTUALLY know how to disbud, and aren’t cruel like other ones
You guys are awesome! Seriously so gracious and so humane! Great job on taking care of your sweet goaties! You are my hero!
Penny's half lounge is hilarious! I had a dog that would do the reverse, hind end on the couch, front legs standing up. Silly!
5:22 Just look at that cute baby goat smile!
What the f### you are crazy
Van vuuren Leandrie why are they crazy?
@@erika527🙄
Van vuuren Leandrie haha why so grumpy?
@@erika527 it hurts them

MY CAT DOES THATT TOO! My brothers bed is in the corner of his room and at the side there’s a window that’s slightly lower than the bed, so he lays down on my brothers bed with his back feet and looks out the window with both of his front feet standing! It’s so cute 😂
I guess penny never skips (back) leg day
Aww, they are so adorable. I love their little bleats. ❤
They are getting so big!!! I’m glad you guys know the importance of disbudding!!
It's all ready 2 years ❤️
I'm not very concerned about de-budding mine. I just need to castrate the little bugger.
I use an elastrator.
You put a small rubber band on the scrotum, making sure to have both testicles though the band.
Virtually painless, and it dries up and falls off in 3 weeks or so.
BTW, I won't have mine disbudded any more.
I have 3 right now that are naturally polled, Casper the Friendly Goat, and two on the young does.
Their sire was polled, and passed that on.
And Casper is new to the herd from Last July.
He made himself at home very fast, and gradually got more and more friendly.
He now comes to see me to get scritches like the others do.
Bantamdude Rodriguez see we have goats and castration and debbuding has never been needed since least stress possible
Wayne Leake so basically your denying blood flow so imagine wrapping something around your scrotum it's not very nice I must say
On Alaska the last frontier they tie rubber band on the testis and they just fall off😳
I just recently discovered your channel and I can’t stop watching it. Only thing I’m confused about it the title of the channel
If your talking about their channel name, there's a saying called read em and weep. So they changed it to for their channel. Weed em, like pick weeds, and reap, like to harvest.
Hailstorm Sushi , you never heard the phrase”Read ‘em and Weep?” This a poker phrase used when the person with the winning hand , laysHis cards face up on the table so the losing players can read his cards and weep over their loss.
Hailstorm Sushi , weedem and reap is just farming terms that rhyme with the poker phrase I just explained.
I would love to have a bitie goat like him I've always wanted a goat
Ugh all these people hating and saying you don’t deserve goat need to just leave some people keep the horns some don’t sometimes when they have horns that can hurt them self’s and other and get there horns stuck in gates you all saying it’s abuse just leave why waste your time on something you can’t stop 🤦♀️🙄
Thanks for doing such a great job on a very distressful procedure for both the animals and the owners who adore them; and I'll be sure to mark your disbudding tutorial when I have to make that tough decision.
Not looking forward to it. But I will be disbudding from now on. I may cry. But it is so worth it!
Is tht procedure to stop horn ?
Growing up we raised goats. My family was very active in 4H and we showed our goats. We milked them twice a day. We made all kind of things with their milk and also use it as our drinking milk. We made cheese, butter, ice cream and a few other thing with their milk. When we burned the kid's horns we never used a numbing cream. I'm not sure if the numbing cream is new on the market or what. We also just called it burning their horns rather than calling it disbudding. We all have our own way of doing this. I miss raising and showing goats. I can remember sleeping out in the goat barn when we knew it was getting close to one of our does (or also called nannies) getting ready to have their kid(s) (baby goats are called kids). I love watching your family on your farm brings back a lot of wonderful memories of my childhood.
I just got my Mini Lamancha Buckling's horns done here 2 days ago they grew pretty quick but luckily they won't grow back or ever. There is 2 reasons i don't like horned goats 1 I had a buck who had horns and he was major aggressive would horn you every chance he got 2nd He died due to him getting his head stuck in a fence and panicked and broke his neck in the fence so that is why I now Only raise D-horned goats Sad to say that It took me loosing a Buckling to figure out that I don't want horned goats on my farm. will never ever keep horned goats on my farm.
I agree totally
What I would suggest to store water would be the biggest water tank you can afford then install a RAM pump to take the water from your drain flow to where ever you want it to be pumped to, very cheap to make and costs NOTHING to run, don't need electric only flowing water to get it to pump to go into your tank, garden or pond.
Here are a few youtube videos for you in the dry areas.

“Ram Pump U Siphon Start”

All the series of the EMAS are very good for very dry places digging wells, pumps ect,
Here are a few more when you dig your pond and not being on clay you might need to seal it.

I am at present trying to help young people with no families survive and teach them permaculture and water storage. This is so they can survive after I have gone home upstairs I am getting on 76. If you can find people who could help and donate it would be a blessing. It is the water and shamba project Kenya, send not to me but direct through paypal waspkenya@ outlook.com
That’s painful 😖 I feel bad 😢 for the baby goats 🐐
Thank you for sharing all of the videos! I grew up on a farm and miss it terribly! I am unable to do much of anything due to multiple back surgeries and a rare illness. These videos make me remember Home and the times we shared as a large family. Thank you again! I admire your dedication! From Kentucky to your home, a big thanks and lots of 💕 💕!
Thanks Mimi!!!

They sounded really scared, but they weren't screaming bloody agony! The numbing paste was a great idea! I agree, can thry have a teeny bit of banamine beforehand too?
You did great!
u can see on 3:30 and 4:18 the smallest babys goat tries to get milk but the mom just leaves

You have to do it and do it early . I applaud you for doing so! I only use a spot of blue kote spray after cools it off and protects it . I sincerely love how you dis budded as a family .
I want a goat
I said that too but now I have 3 and I'm tired, little bit poor, and have so many bruises from the babies
Thank you for being caring and compassionate owners. They very lucky little kids lol.
I am not trying come after you but don't people think this is cruel. When you say your trying to do this in a more humane way, how is dissbuding humane in any way. I love your channel and you have taught me a lot about goats but I just had to say what I thought. :)
When you've had so, so, so many goats hurt and kill themselves because of the horns, it really is the much nicer thing to do.

"kill themselfs" better than burning the top of there head off
luna lavender Lilli not really she loves her goats I would not do it myself but I'd have someone like her do it
wolf hearted ok that’s what you think and that’s ur opinion do you can have yours and I can have mine. I believe actually can’t believe that people do this to there goats
Best idea I will keep this in mind for our goat's when we get them
We disbudd our babies :( I always feel bad after, but when you have 16+ kids a spring like us, it is much to expensive to have them all taken to the vet. Where do you get the numbing cream?
We got it here.
Weed 'em & Reap d
Weed 'em & Reap I think ur nail should be burn like it so u will understand the pain
Hammad Hashmi I think maybe you should be educated a little more.
Aww! I know it's necessary but I wanted to cry with them lol
At first I was like OMG R they burning the head off but then I was like oh ok the are disbudding but now I know how to do it I will be doing it to my goats
Hey I love your videos and I Have even brought my own goats me and my family watch your videos we are from Australia
3:10-3:13 the goat is peeing
Thank you so much for showing the goats! Penny is so funny. Please tell her I said Namaste! lol
She cries like a baby 👶
Well, it would make sense since she is a baby.
IKR *human baby tho
The most humane way to do it would be to do a nerve block with lidocaine. Goats have two nerves that directly connect to the horn. Topical numbing cream doesn’t do much for the deeper tissues.
Why do u even do this? It’s basically shoving a curling iron on their scalp
Chase Looms it prevents a lot of future injuries, goats can be mean at times, and ramming each other will not be good for them. Better to do this than to have injured goats latter on
Chase Looms cuz they can hurt your bad and as breeders they need to if the ram and stuff it hurts also getting their heads stuck
If goats have collars on (especially dairy) and another goat has horns they can actually choke eachother
They do it for a reason as you can see in the comments and you dont have the right to judge theur decsisons
Can you just shut up, Learn your facts.
My aunt said she lets the numbing gel sit there for a while then does it and they may cry out.once.....ive only seen her do it once.....lol shes.like and the new yoga pose is called lounging goat.......or strike a pose goat style lol ...they are.so.precious
Just my opinion... but...
She kinda sounds like SeriThePixelBiologist
She kinda does!
Good work 👍
There's a far less painful way to do it. Just don't do it. It's not necessary. If you love on your goats they will love on you and their horns will just help you defend them from real threats.
The Awesome Homestead there are no real threats in a comfortable, protected home. It’s the owner’s choice, like declawing a cat.
Personally I just don't agree with it there's just no need for extra stress
In her words she says that theyve known people that have had goats get their horns stuck and hung due to it and they disbud their baby goats to avoid that problem in the future however i believe if the person buying the goat chooses not to have them disbudded they wont
The goats can kill each other with their horns. Goats fight a lot. it's in their nature.
you are wong
It think it’s horrible to do that but I understand why you have to. I really appreciate that you cared that they felt pain and you at least tried to make the pain better.
So sad I can watch 😭😭 poor things
I've watched this channel a lot, trust me, they're the most humane people I've seen. They love their animals to hell and back. If you continue watching, it gets better, i promise
I just love your little farm and especially your beautiful children. It would be nice if we seen this more in families working together. God bless you all
WTH.......???.....wait whats is for????...
Pajkim Thao to stop horns from growing because when they breed they ram each other
Actually this is a pointless and painful procedure for the goats.
TheBookStrawberry sorry, i am new to things like this can you explain why it is pointless.
Paige Lalicker their horns are harmless. And there is no reason to remove them and cause them pain. In fact, you use the horns to hold onto them or move them and it doesn’t hurt them, so it’s kinda counter productive. It does more damage than good. Their is the argument that the goat could hurt something with the horns but if you can’t handle and animal, by putting time, care, and love into taming it you just shouldn’t have it.
TheBookStrawberry I understand that both so many goats it's hard to control them on their own and they actually have a pretty decent way of being able to move them from place to place without using the horns and their goats me and up being aggressive you never know with goats or any other animal if it'll be a pain in the bleep to train them and while mating or breeding or whatever the f you want to call it they can end up getting territorial which they'll fight for mates and crap like that and they can end up hurting other goes in my opinion I really wish that it was painless but I do like how they do in their young so then when they're older they might not remember it like how I don't remember when I was one years old so they may not remember it and it's quick and like a day or so later they'll be out of pain and they did try to make it painless yes I understand that wasn't completely painless but it helps the horns and less injuries happen and it is better safe than sorry personally I would prefer any goats that I have to do this and yes I'm new to it but I also understand quite a bit about it in my opinion I just wanted your side of the story and opinion on it other than the fact that you would rather it not be done
I love your family. 🐾
i saw the mom pee and the baby go under it
Melanie Rodriguez 😂
Do the female goats grow horns in the Nigerian breed aswell?
Lonely Dog
All genders grow horns
is not necessary... it is plain n simple cruel. If you don't like the animals as they are, don't keep them. Is enough to get them castrated if/as necessary.
Ariella Star are you dumb?
Snowflakesofwinter Aj no, but you seem to be dumb. I have goats and they don't get tortured, it's that simple. Treat them well and they respect you. So it seems you are dumb
Ariella Star if you never lost a goat to injury from horns, you are not living in reality, goats are disbudded to prevent injuries to themselves and other livestock on the farm..it’s done with a very hot iron that kills the horn tissue. I’ve done many kids. I think castrations probable hurt worse. That’s also needed
It’s not cruel
Ariella Star know people than dont do that and actually get badly wounded because they use to ram bad sometimes even if its just in a playfull way
All my goats have horns and have never had problems! I totally see where your coming from, especially since you have a lot more than me. (I only have three) :)
This fellow, Eric, the 10th Generation Dairyman (on TH-cam) when he de-horns the calves he shaves the area and just uses some cream de-horner. Is there the equivalent for kids or is he just not showing the burning process? Just curious. Love your channel! 🐐🐐🤎🤎🐐🐐
Randomly stumbled upon your channel late at night and I’m so happy right now! I want nothing more than to own a goat but I live in an apartment so I’ll just deal with watching yours! So jealous they are so cute!!!
The numbing cream is really good.
is there any good reason to NOT disbud a potential herd sire? in other words, on the adult males - would having "handles" (horns) help you in controlling them? or does such a goat need horns to defend his herd? (is it a "herd"?) I'm asking because I don't know - I can see advantages and disadvantages both ways. more disadvantages than advantages to be sure.
Im tired of listening to people argue about disbudding Whether you do it or not respect others choices I know I'm going to eat a lotta hate but whatever WHATEVER THE OPINION RESPECT OTHERS CHOICES
I know disbudding is a hard part, yet generally necessary. Having numbing cream is the so helpful. It reminds me of momma’s having children’s ears pierced.
I see a lot of people comment this abuse whilst others are not, so I’m slightly confused. Can someone explain to me the process and why it’s done please?
Wow the baby goats were totally okay with the buzzing of the shaver! Must be well looked after!
Great job on the disbudding! :)
You know it's a good video when you see a baby goat in a box
Very helpful information. It didn't look too bad. I'm sure the stuff helps.
Soon my mom's getting a cottage soon maybe I can buy the cutie 😀😁
I was eating the screen from CUTENESS!!! I was dreaming about kissing the lovely babies!!!
I know it's sarcasm, but I just imagined you sucking and licking the screen of your computer while they played with the baby goats. 😄
Saying it’s less painful does nothing to stop hate. It’s still basically dismembering a body part. If you really live your goats, then STOP THIS! Or just don’t get any if you treat them like crap.
They are so cute 🐐
At least you make sure your goats are okay looks like you guys try your best to take good care of your pets .
Well that good you guys are making this less painful for the baby goats .
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
It’s so sad but at least you tried to make the situation better
Love you guys,
I have a question does that thing heart them?
People in the comments really think that they are harming the goats for no reason 😒
See I am very much against the process, but I refuse to judge, when buying baby goats a specifically set out to buy ones that have not had this done, in the UK all forms of modifications to dogs are illagal tail docking, dew claw removal, ear cropping same with cats noone in this country would even consider declawing a cat, now to my point I have seen the exact same argument for all the above things in terms of safety and health and welfare and for me taking away horns falls under the same umbrella all my animals are as they were born and they are all happy and healthy and so is my family, so that's how I feel but I would never judge anyone else it's not my place tbh, but I do believe whole heartily that others including daneel and her family do what they do with only the animals best interests at heart in the same way I do, noone will change the mind of someone doing what they feel is best for those they love so all that is left is acceptance 😊
Luved the boot rack at 2:07 in the background...great farm boot organizer idea!
We just leave the horns, haven't really had a problem with aggression with humans or any of the other livestock. They follow us around like dogs and love it when I rub my knuckles along their horns.
ooofff this would be hard for me to do. But you do what you must
