A catcher to shear sheep or milk goats....

 

[David Martin]

It can be used as that. DM

 

[David Martin]

We built it for a milking stand. But we will use it for many duties. i.e. doctoring, castrating, hoof trimming, ect.. And yes shaving their udders before milking. So, a lot of this will be done with a Buck knife. DM

A milking stand ?

 

[m r merrill]

Never mind, I didn't post the reply quick enough. Lol

 

[jbmonkey]

for goats right Sir?

 

[David Martin]

Yes, for goats. Our billy is good but we could also use it to artificially inseminate. DM

[David Martin]

Mike, I've always liked your sense of humor. DM

What do you do with the Goat marbles?

 

[David Martin]

The manure is cleaned from their stall and hauled to shrubs and fruit trees. It's used for fertilizer. DM

You didn't understand his question, I don't think. What do you do with the leftovers after castration? When we were doing pigs we would just throw them over the fence for the 3 dogs waiting for them. Some people eat them, same as bulls...Moutain Oysters and Pearls....

 

[David Martin]

Excuse me.. There is not much testicle left as we use a burdizzo. It's bloodless and insect problems are avoided. I have done castration with a Buck knife and prefer the sheepsfoot blade or the spey blade on a 307. I know the spey blade on the 334
Millinnium Trapper would work too. DM

 

[sassafrassdogs]

If I hadn't jumped out the way I would have got kicked out of the barn by a 400 +-, was steer, then dinner/supper....

 

[BuckShack]

I'm sure it's necessary, but I'll sleep fine having never castrated anything (or eaten what some call a delicacy )

My wife was going to kill me at a nice restaurant here in Spokane. I was mooing now and again when they were serving Rocky Mt oysters.i couldn't help it. I had to do it.. q

 

[David Martin]

I have eaten them a number of times from bovine. The dogs enjoyed the others. Most of the time my wife is not around
when I do the procedure. My girls have helped me on occasion. It's a good learning experience. DM

For misbehaving boyfriends or husbands?? I think should tell them they know how to do that before it gets too serious....Ha!Ha!

It's good you're teaching your kids what it's all about and how to do it...

One guy she brought out, had to help me with it... And He never came back. DM
