New Rhinehart X-30 for sale

I guess I can post this here. I am going to list it on ebay,
but I will wait to be sure no one would want to buy it here.
It is $59 on Jeffers. It is still in box like it came to me. The guy
we had disbud the Kinders said he knew it would be too small.

We bought the 3/8 tip. It isn't the Pygmy one (which has a 1/4 tip), it is the middle sized one.
We don't disbud our Pygmys, only the Nubians and Kinders. It should be perfect for Nigerians or Pymgys.
I would be happy to take $50 for it including shipping.
It will come just as I got it, new in its box.
I can post pics if someone is interested.

This is the link to it on Jeffers

Wait, I should ask the girl who owns the pygmies if she would like to buy this for future kiddings... my teacher should probably buy it for smaller breeds in general.

The normal tip is fine for any size goat... including pygmies/nigies.

Looking at how big the burn area was on the Kinders and knowing how much larger they are than Pygmys, I would be afraid to disbud Pygmy kids with the normal size, but I am a weenie. lol. I will not even watch it be done anyway. I just think the size of the burn would cover their entire heads. We don't disbud the Pygmy kids, so I will never know.

I do my mini kids, which are pretty much grade pygmies, with the normal tip... I bought the pygmy tip and will never use it, because it is way too tiny.

Yes, I imagine the Pygmy tip would be far too small. That is the 1/4 tip, this is the 3/8 tip. I am guessing when I say it would be a good size for a Pygmy kid. I know our Pygmy kids weigh about 2 lbs when born verses 10lbs for the Nubians and 5 lbs for the Kinders. But I suppose if people do them with the reg. iron, it works from to do so. I just think a small head probably could use a smaller tip.
