For goats the small solid concave tool on the right. Heated with a propane torch. all are easy made. The kid tool is made from a flex handle, the tip ground concave, and a valve spring.
The iron held on the but for about 8seconds, the area will be copper color right after it's done.

The girls have taped tennis balls on our Angora Bucks horns, not wanting him dehorned.

Look up Angora Armenia, In 1915 muslim turks killed all who lived there and made it the capital of turkey, didn't change the name, it is still called Ankara.

The decision not to castrate was made after doing a bit a research and finding out what I suspected, leaving them intact will not affect flavor of the meat, if there are other reasons maybe I'll look at those...

I have hunted whitetail deer in wisconsin my whole life, I never tasted the difference between the old swamp buck 110% into rut as opposed to a yearling doe or fawn buck... Maybe others have and I would attribute that to poor field dressing, I've seen hunters stab into guts instead of being careful...

I am going to leave the horns intact in Idaho's summer heat, those horns help keep the goat cool, I ain't messing with that.

258 Pots is organic, non-gmo, non-intrusive, if it doesn't benefit the animal and me it isn't going to happen.

Wow, new update. The doe we agreed to buy kidded, pure breed Oberhasli's instead of what she thought were going to be 1/2 Boer and 1/2 Oberhasli. So we have two Oberhasli kids on the way, a girl and a boy, now one more day of work then off to build the pen.

Aries is becoming a first rate farm dog, we have a special collar with a bell we put on her and it's time to go to work. She is doing very well with voice control (very sensitive to male tone) and really showing she wants to please and is showing she understands the concept.

Kids are fun.

They are so playful ..

. giving them some "yard toys" will add to the 258 Pots entertainment district, in a grand way!
