[Jacob-list] Docking adult tails

[Mark Essen]

The neighbor's vet visit is over and the tails are all banded, actually 
double banded.  The vet is from New Zealand and comes from a strong 
sheep background.  She said that she prefers cutting and heating 
(cauterizing), but did not have that equipment with her.  She was very 
comfortable with banding.  She said that the tails will be gone in less 
than one month. 
We also castrated lambs, kids, and calves and she used a knife for that.
