You will need:
             2 x Nubian Slaves, or better still, 2 real Pygmies.
             1 x Length of Rope
             1 x Long Bamboo Pole.
   Method:
             Tie the goats legs together then insert the pole, place one Pygmy under each end of the pole, this will present your goat at the correct hight for trimming all four feet without you having to bend down.
       I tried this method with Amazons but they were a bit on the tall side (strapping gert wenches ), and the wife said I could not keep them .
