Disbudding adventures...

Can honestly say it wasn't my favorite thing, and I am still unsure as to exactly how they are going to turn out. How quick do I re-do them if they need it? Also went ahead and tattooed at the same time. I was green...ALL OVER!

I dislike tattooing worse than the disbudding...because its messy!

Congrats on your first disbudding. Watch for growth on those burnt buds. You probably won't know for sure till the scabs fall off.

Thanks Emily. I know what they should look like on the bottle babies that i bought, but I was late getting it done and figure I will end up with scurs, but going to watch them closely and burn again when needed.
