Me too. I swear we had blue ones. Dehorning is what took stomach. mtmuley

Nanding never bothered me if youve watch the vet "crimp" one though. Ooofff the crunching sound will about drop you to your knees.

I have done it. We used a paste on small calves but sometimes had to cut one. Good dose of blood stopper afterward. Was around a lot of branding. And getting oysters the old fashioned way, with a knife. mtmuley

Branding would be a foreign experience. I'd imagine it isn't much different than burning horns.

We’ve had to dehorn at least 1 the last couple years. I hadn’t seen one before that in at least 10 years. Now I can hear that bellar and their snot flying everywhere as they try to get out of the shoot.

Most of our steers get cut within an hour of being born but if they are born on the pasture they need to be cut when they are weened. We will be bringing them home probably in a week or 2. We used to have a big fat golden retriever that would eat every single testicle if they didn’t get saved.

I remember a 5 gallon bucket with ice. Dinner afterwards included the oysters. Deep fried. mtmuley

Grampa and his brother both had sheep and we did our own crimping on the lambs. I was the one holding them still while they performed the duties. The crunch, the bleating and mama watching us is something I won't forget. Had hogs for a while as well. Catching and holding for the vet was always more work than it should have been.

Docked lamb tails with the same crimper.

We do our piglets at 2 weeks. Sharp razor hobby knife and a can of blue coat.

Quick and easy for me.

Mom not to happy.

Piglets usually running around in an hour or so.

My .2 cents… public executions should never have stopped. This is why there is such an outrage about it now. I could go on and on about the judicial system nightmare we have in this country but it would just be me venting

Been lurking here a long time reading the elk and muley threads, finally made an account. You folks have opinions and I'm here for it.

@redmt Hey Randy - since you're the guy who runs this place, quick one for you: my follow button has been broken since the day I joined. Every time I hit it off a member's page I get an error. Happens every single time I try from Jnasa's page for example. Known bug with new accounts or something on my end? Not urgent, just annoying.

Anyway, good to finally be here.

You didn't send it to Randy. You posted it on the open forum.
