I couldn't even stand to look at the pictures when I opened the thread for updates. I would hurry by the pictures so I didn't have to see them. It was pitiful what that teacher did & then thought it was OK!
I would have turned him in if it would have been my goats he had done that too. He definately should not be teaching young people how to disbud goats!

Those images still haunt me! I wish there had been a "warning graphic pics" note posted. I was just reading & scrolling and BAM! Still makes me teary. That "teacher" should be beaten.

I saw them today, they are doing great. The swelling has gone completely down, and I can't see any visible permanent damage. I still really haven't gotten much of a chance to really look at them though.

I talked to the teacher and told him it wasn't okay. From now on he is going to talk to me first before he even touches the goats!

I'm wondering if the disbudding even worked.

Glad to hear they are doing well.
