2 Minutes with the Famer Vlog# 96: Doctoring a Goat with an Infected Foot!!!

in #homesteading8 years ago


Today on 2 Minutes with the Farmer we are going to doctor a goat that has an infection in his foot. This is our biggest Billy goat, so it should be fun. We will clean up the infected hoof and give him a shot of antibiotics. Hope you enjoy the video.

Thanks for spending 2 minutes with me!

Those hoofing sheers are the best ones we have found too.

Same here. They are the best we have found as well

well @bowentroyer I learned something today, I had no idea that you could just throw a goat on it's back and it would stay there! I've worked on thousands of sick cattle and they would go nuts if you could even get them in that position.lol.
vote still chargings sorry. cool video!

That is one reason I really like the goats. They are a lot easier to work than cattle

yes sir apparently so, cattle are downright dangerous..
we used to get pretty beat up at times especially when they
get older.

It really looked like you were going to stab yourself when you were trying to get the cap back on after giving the shot....I'm sure you have had your share of close calls!

Yes. I have missed a few time. It hurts

I have trimmed goat hooves and treated rot before. Sure wish I had known about throwing them on their back! That looked like it worked really well.

It took me awhile to figure it out too! But it is so much easier.

You are a good animal doctor!

Always learn something new watching your channel Bo. Do you keep that needle around in case the kids need a shot too? :D

The wife won’t let me;)

Wow, your male goat is way calmer than any of our males ever were. If we'd gotten a calm one like him we'd probably still have goats, LOL. :D
Good job on giving him the shot and not getting jabbed in the process. :D
God bless you and your wonderful family. :D Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! :D

Thank you very much. He is a great Billy

You're very welcome. :D He looks like a strong one too. :D
