The Goat Hook

The goats are scheduled to start kidding in mid April.

 We have had a few that have been sort of puny acting lately.  This last month with all the mud and temperature changes has been pretty hard on them.   J needed to catch one today to deworm.

He already had this handy dandy calf catch pole (see here) but the hook was too big for goats.  So for Father's Day last year V got J a goat hook to go on the pole.  

And today J got to try it out.  It worked perfectly.  So now instead of trying to seek up on them, race around and grab their horns, J can just walk out, grab a back leg with the hook and reel them in.
