Yesterday i double tagged the lambs - for the very first time! I hadn't done it before as a friend usually comes over to do them. Anyway, yesterday i thought - "I can do it" - so, with OH holding them, i gave them their 2nd heptivac and tagged. Only got 4 lambs but it's a start  and i'm really proud of myself . |

we have only double tagged our first goat, the second is still waiting to be done as I didn't want to hurt her when she was little  |

Yeah, I was really quite worried about it. I thought Baldr was going to hate us for ages afterwards. I think being hesitant is probably worse than going for it. |

thanks BB, there good girls.
Your right stephen they forget pretty quick normally, disbudded a while back and within about 10 minutes the calves were jumping about and eatting, think its more scarie for the human then the stock . |

| I remember seeing a herd of calves being castrated in Louisiana - at first I thought it was cruel and horrible - but I think the calves were more bothered when they were separated from their mothers before the procedure than they were after it was done. |
