First For Me....

[DirtTime]

So my buddy just calls and asks if we can come up and help with a goat problem this weekend. I say yes, then and ask what problem is. Trimming a big goats nails. Complete first for me, but when they ask me for something and I/We can do it, we are always going to help. I camp on their land, I hunt on their land, so if they need something I am always there.

I would do the same bro.......

The world could sure use more of that mentality,  thats for sure.

Never a bad thing to learn a little something too.

That's a stinky job! 

Coming up to help with whatever, will keep you camping and hunting for years in the future. Good for you Rob. Too much entitlement going around these days. Helping out the landowners is always so much appreciated, by the landowners!

Good answer.  Of course, now you've got to be like, "What in the heck did I just agree too?!"

My buddies all know call me even at midnight and I will be there if need be and I know the same from them.  The way it should be.

It's not so much about the hunting or camping. That's a bonus for me. But, friends help each other, so even if I didn't hunt or camp up there, I would still go help out.

I have no idea what I'm in for with a big buck male goat, and trying to clip it's nails, I'm sure it will be interesting.

I'd go into it with a mouth guard and a cup........protect the goods.  A helmet might be overboard.

Pics for SURE ......rob.

I had a single buck goat for brush control when I had some other livestock, pigs and beef at the time. 

With soft soil not wearing his hooves I had to trim him regular. He was a pisser, loved to play, but had to watch his impressive set of horns; I put tennis balls over them. After a few attempts I built a mini headlock for him and that made quick work with some clippers.

Miss having animals but they are a 365 day job and don't allow for easy travel.

He has chickens, peacocks, and the goats. It sure keeps him busy.

Death by goat ramming

[DirtTime]

They had the big male done when we got there. Helped with the does, hooves and meds. Mostly I just fed them corn to try and distract them.
Did some scouting for a few hours. Found some scat filled with berries, doesn't look like bear, but not sure what it's from. Not a bad day overall.
