the_jersey_lilly_2000 said:Sunday afternoon will be interestin around here, Got Lil Lilly's 5 hiefers for her Pen of 3 Commercials to run in the chute and clip their heads. Somethin we've never done before. I'm sure there'll be lots of bellerin n snot slingin goin on. This group is no where near like the ones she raised last year. They were all calm and some petable. This bunch is totally different, and she's spent more time with these than she did those last year. Strange how that works. They don't hafta be halter broke, so this is gonna be an experience gettin em in the head gate and turnin on a pair of them big ole clippers. I"m just glad it's just their heads, n not their whole bodies. It's not required that you trim their heads, but most of the pens have theirs done. Just makes em look nice and cleaned up. Since she's got a couple that really have "do's" on the top of their head we're gonna give it a go. LOL They look alot like those two you got there, but they are weighin in at about 1000 lbs now I'd say. Hafta wait n see what kinda gain she got when we take em into the fair, they weigh in the same day they go into pens at the fair grounds. They are penned (in a small pasture) for 5 months and fed and bred. Sure would like to just keep em...they are lookin good.
the_jersey_lilly_2000 said:We don't own a trimming chute. them thangs just look way too flimsy to do anything in, with a critter thats not halter broke. The ag mech teacher offered his, but I declined, and told him naw..we'll just put em in the squeeze chute and catch em in the head gate, put the bars on to keep em from raisin or lowerin their heads, and then use the nose pliers on em. If that don't work, then they'll get the halter and tied to the side.
Still won't matter..someone (most likely me) will end up with snot on em. There will be pictures to share I'm sure, since we hafta take pictures to put in record book of everything she does with them. LOL I'm just NOT lookin forward to this job. Trimmin goats is a job in itself..this is gonna be an experience LOL
