What did you do today?

[Nanno]

Today I trimmed everyone's hooves, and just as I was thinking, "I should probably wear gloves when I do this," the hoof knife slipped and sliced my thumb. It's not bad or anything, but it was a reminder never to take sharp tools for granted. While trimming hooves I also discovered that some of my goats have scabby irritations on their pasterns, much like scratches, a.k.a. greasy heel on horses. Yuck! I gave ivermectin to the four goats who had it and I applied Nu-Stock ointment to the scabs. I hope it goes away quickly.

Babies all got their first CD+T shots today. I was going to tatoo them as well, but I realized I'm out of green ink. I have lots of black, that's impossible to read unless you have Saanens.
