I can't remember what I paid for disbudding but it was under £20 and he put a band on for me as well.

I think it is combinex thanks - another goat kidded today - 2 75% boer females - one has classic boer markings - lovely blaze and red head complete with 2 toggenburg tassels - very cute! Just need to think of 2 suitable names beginning with R (mum is Rosemary aka Rumpy as she has a brown bum!) I name the kids using the same name as their mother to help know whose who!  Any suggestion (flora related)??

Rhododendron, Rose, Rowan, Roselle, Rudbeckia.

Oh well it would cost me too much in diesel to travel there from the Scottish Borders... I would hang on to that vet!

Having said that mine is fairly old school and did loads of goats in the 1980s, and likes them (I think). As they don't see too many of them nowadays.... It is actually quite funny if I am in with my girls and a "normal" person just walks out with their pet dog/cat they always do a double take at the noise coming from my trailer...

Had to pop one of my girls down to the vets, all the staff came to have a look and stroke her
