First Time Removing Goat Scurs - Homestead VLOG
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Our Nigerian Drawf Buck, Dexter, has scars growing from where he was dehorned. The problem is they are growing in a circle and back into his head. So we need to cut them off, at least partially. This is our first time attempting to remove a scur from a goat. We are using a wire saw we bought from caprine supply. Removing this goat scur will definitely be a learning experience for us.

We live in southeastern Illinois on a 41 acres homestead. We just finished building our log cabin overlooking our pond. We are trying to grow our own food and raise livestock. Follow us on our journey living the rural life and developing our property and becoming more self sufficient.
I like Mrs Country View Acres' shirt !!!
I like Rebecca's shirt... pray wait trust.
Love your shirt Rebecca ✝️
Amen. Waiting and trusting going on, right now ...
I like your t shirt “pray, wait and trust”
Dexter was a good patient and you Rebecca did a good job on the horns. I am sure Dexter feels better with hem not putting pressure on his head.
Great shirt rebecca!
Hi...... Evan and Rebecca nice to see you both, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐖🐈🌱🐐🎥👍👍👍
When we used to do it the best thing that helped was buying a really nice wire saw and then it works really quick and cuts it fast , nice. That brings back memories
We had 150 milkig goats on our farm at one point☺️😷 cheers
hi guys great comedy act I remember dehorning our hereford bulls years ago but I think our wire was a bit more aggressive as he bulls horns were about 2.5 inches thick and we went through in about the same time, we took the horns off rite at the hair line and had no problems ...good job cheers Paul
trea make a nice grinder for hoof and horns that work great and fast.
Hi Rebecca,how are you ? You look wonderful. This went good for you, I bet you have been reading up on this, God bless, take care. Sorry , Hi Evan. Take care of yourself.
Awesome video and God bless
If you didn't know you were sawing it looks like your shadow boxing dexter lol
Great shirt Rebecca 👍
great video!! I love seeing the goats and the care you took with Dexter. Subscribing...! Happy Holidays!!!
Your the second ones that used it on here thanks for sharing it
Rebecca is so, so adorable. I love how much she loves all the animals (except for barn mice, of course). 😂😍
And snakes.
Glad that turned out so well. I absolutely love Rebecca's shirt.
Rebecca, I am impressed with your T shirt “Pray, Wait, Trust. Not an easy thing to do when you have a circumstance that requires prayers
Great shirt Rebecca but I like your hat too! Yeah Moab!
Great job you two. Never pleasant but it needs to be done.
Ok that went better than I was expecting. When I saw Rebecca's sandals my first thought was Dexter was going to have a fit and start stomping and kicking so I was afraid Rebecca"s feet were going to incur some injury. Glad things worked out for you.
Whoa!!! That worked very well!!! Sweet!!! Thanks...Peace!!!

I had to laugh when Chewy voluntarily got up there! Your boys are so tame and fun to watch!!
I used this same wire to detusk boars. I believe it’s called obstetric wire.
I would detusk once a year.
Awesome idea had nervous giats a years ago back . Had to give them up a few years back.
God bless stay safe
That worked good, you can also use that to cut pvc pipe. You can use braided string line to cut pvc pipe if you didn't know.
Great job Rebecca and Evan, glad you found out the way to take care of your goat. RUclips is full of problem solving information sometimes! Glad it worked out great for you folks. You work well together, thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
Chewie is a internet star...much better than those so called influencers. more of him
Love that shirt Rebecca
Using a Wire Saw was pure Genius! Good Job Guys👍🏼👍🏼
Love your top Rebecca. I love the way you both work together. You both amazing. Even your done so much work and with Rebeccas help your done so much around your farm.
The 10 Acre Woods channel has a vlog on this removal process.
Chewy is sooo flashy
The saw is a "Gigli" saw. Originally used in obstetrics for dystocia from a small pelvis.
batesnoble ?😦😦A WHAT NOW❓
I have an Alpine Doe, the Lady at the farm I got her from said not to give her a hay net because of her horns. When I was home (during covid quarantine) I gave her a hay bag and she got her horns in it and tossed it around but never got stuck she always find a way out. I strap it to the fence with a carabiners so she can't throw it over the fence.
She knows where her horns are and knows how to use them.
I thought she was stuck once but she got out before I was even half way to her lol 🤷♀️
Thanks to you and your family.
We used tightly wrapped elastic bands on our goats, it takes about 6 months, but painless.
My niece has a goat with the same issue. Great job!
Good video, you guys are very down to earth and make a great couple!! Keep em coming.....
Y'all did a really good job. I was sorry you had to go through all that but happy to see Rebekah on a video!! Love even you share with us!! Thank you
better then i expected..great job!!
That is called a garrotte saw, the wire is supposed to be made of an abrasive steel, we had them in boy scouts to use for small limbs. They also put them in survival kits. Y'all did a good job, and Dexter was a very good goat to stand still.
On another note my mom's name is Sandi and she's been in the ICU with covid-19 for 3 weeks. Please pray for her as we cannot bear to lose her.
Thanks so much,
Jimmy
🙏
How is your mother doing? , I hope she is well
As soon as we get new goats...baby's or adults, we put collars or harnesses on them. Some goats do better with collars and some do better with harnesses. It makes the catching and handling process SO much easier
I know it seems odd but a angle grinder with a metal grinding ( not cutting) blade works also. IF you can get someone big enough to hold his head. It will both cut and coterize the horn. Plus it makes it less sharp on the edges. Great job though!
I have seen veterinarians cut feet off cows with those. And a dead calf in cow, it was the only way to get calf out. The calf was stuck in pelvis on cow.
Could you use a long handled lopper on them? If he starts head- butting the others he could injure them. You could also use a disbudding iron and burn out the rest of the scur. When he was disbudded, they probably didn’t go around in a circle on the horn bud, the base is wider than they thought it was. Btdt. I have actually pulled a goats horn off with my bare hand. It bled a little, but we had to change her name from Tiffany to One-horn! Lol! You guys did a good job, for the first time!
THANKS GUYS I NEEDED THAT INFO. HEY I LOVE HER T-SHIRT 🥰
...GOOD JOB, KEEP SAFE..
God love its heart!
Great movie. I watched all the time. Thanks.
If you think your going to cut close enough to the base of the scur that it might bleed you can try a trick I do with cattle. Tie some twine tightly around the base of the horn, I use square bale twine and then remove the horn and it won't bleed. I remove the twine the next day and there is no bleeding. You can even apply the twine after the fact if you remove the horn and it starts bleeding. I believe you can also purchase a specific made rubber band that does the same however, you won't be able to remove the band and it will stay in place until the entire horn with the base falls off. Regardless good job on trimming back the horns.
The wire device you are using is a survival saw as well
That was so much fun to watch. I actually laughed out loud. Thanks for sharing.🐓
Weird how their horns grow a sucker off of them, just like a tree or tomato plant ?
Poor Chewy, just drops off the platform and out goes the lights !
Great video !
Nice moves. You should have used Saturday Night Fever as the soundtrack... Interesting and good to know. We have a couple of goats we bought disbudded and they seem to have some growths that may need this. I am not a fan of catching a horn in the rear, but I am not ready to disbud our goats either. So far, the biggest issue has been one that would get stuck in the fence when he was younger. I zip tied a stick across his horns and that fixed that.
A few tips for next time. Cut that 6' wire inn half, into two 3' pieces. When you are sawing stay at the same angle. Every time you started cutting you changed your angle, that is like starting over. Think about a hand saw, when sawing you stay in one plane until you finish. The wire curling up like it did does not make it bad. i have used then for years to split the pelvis on deer and removing antlers.
Overall good job, you are learning.
The car that has the piano wire they used to cut the horns off of cows
Nice going,🐐 good boy dexter!
To Chewy: "knock it off"
That's what he was trying to do, lol
Both of you did a great job
The joys of animal ownership.
He's such a good goat.
Pero que hermoso ese barbón 💕💕💕
Once you got him on the milking stand, it seemed to go very well!!
Pray, Wait & Trust indeed
I would use a cut off blade with a Dremel. I use the Dremel sanding drum to sand down my chihuahua's nails. The cutoff blade would make quick work of it, but you have to be extremely careful and observant. Anyway, you managed the task, so congrats!
Thumbing through my feed, I see "goat scurs"
Me: I must see this!
Dexter is very handsome fella! Thanx for the informative video!
I hope to have goats some day!
We've raised dairy goats for years and scurs are a problem. I do the disbudding and rarely (like hardly ever) do we see scurs on our doe but nearly all our bucks have them. We call "scurs" the ones that are not attached to the skull where horns are attached. Sometimes our bucks will bust them off on a fence post but usually they aren't a problem. Growing back into the skull is a problem. Thanks for the great video.
I agree with y’all. I do not disbud my goat!
that wire is also used to remove windshields in cars
Dexter thinks this is very odd, probably a trap, but there's tasty vittles, uh do I fall for the trap? I'm going in, I hope nobody cuts off anything of me, but I just gotta taste those vittles because they smell so yummy.
To be honest, I think a horse hoof clip would have worked great on this. The consistency of the horns seemed about the same as a horse hoof.
Do you have a Dremel tool with either a grinding head or a coarse sanding tool? That might work to take the sharp edges off and also to grind down the scur even more. Just like filing finger nails.
Would have thought you could use one of those cordless multi-tools with the curved blade on that scur...be through it in no time.
Wire saw...gigli
Now use your angle grinder with a flap disk .
Im the first
Good work my friend
👍👍
Arms family homestead had a plastic type of this

Tried to find it no luck. Not sure how long it lasted. Hooked a back leg of leery goat pretty quickly though. No one made a Hellboy joke . Suggest knife handle material for the bits & parts leftover if you still use the anvil. Deer season is edging its way to the woods..
Be Well
I'm wondering if hoof trimmers would work better.
What about using a reciprocal saw. Quicker.
It's got to hurt them if you didn't do anything with it I would assume
Would The goat let you file the sharp points down❓ With a hand file
What were you feeding them? I own goats and was curious
Could you band his horns I've seen videos of them banding cow horns
Why didn't you band the horns
If you plan on working on one goat learn to pen the other ones in another part of the pasture
Hi im just wondering, can this wire be used on kids once they have about 2 inch horns.
I don't think it would be good to do on kids. If you don't want horns, they need to be de-budded with a few days of being born.
*Country View Acres* Hey ! who watching this video in 2069 :p
Could you get away with using looper's that are used to cut limbs off trees for the horns.?
why don't you band th and remove the whole thing. there are a lot of videos on just doing this
Tak zapuścić zwierzęta, u nas by ich ścigali
Great shirt Rebecca!
👍👍
