Stealing cud (pics and videos)
Last night we set our sights on swiping some cud from a healthy goat to give to Gretta. I thought it would be good to video tape it in case it went well so others could see how to do it. It went just ok...I would have liked to have gotten more cud. And hubby wasn't close enough with the camera to see the actual swipe. I used a spoon so my fingers wouldn't get chomped again.
WARNING....please excuse my hubby's warped sense of humor. 
We wanted to get it from Pony because he usually has huge cud on both sides of his mouth. He is smarter than we thought and chose to run off before we even began! So....Tinker was the victim of the cud stealing
Here is the swipe...Tinker did not like it at all and remained angry at me for awhile afterwards
007 - YouTube
It got all over my coat and boy does it stink!! You can see Tinker running off mad
Here is the cud
First attempt of making it drenchable
2nd attempt. IGNORE HUBBY
final result now in Gretta's gut.

Min you've gone professional, where's the chef hat?
Now how come you soaked it for an hour?
How about cutting the end of the syringe to make larger hole?
I've never done this like you have so just wondering.
Once I did try to get a wad from a wether but didnt use a spoon, pretnear got my finger amputated.
And just looking at it in the bowl reeks from your kitchen to here!

I don't know why I soaked it for an hour. I guess I was thinking it would make the water "stronger" with the goodies if I left it alone for awhile.

Great videos, David was cracking me up! I would have never thought to strain it, I always thought you were supposed to give the cud stolen from the healthy goat to the unhealthy so I learned something new today. Thanks for sharing, Min.

I don't know if it's the right way to do it! I just read that someone filled their mouths with water, and suck the juice out with a syringe. I thought it would be easier to get some matter out and then make it into a drench. I could be way off with this but just trying to make it easier on everyone.

You need a catheter syringe.
You know how the vets rinse a horses mouth out before floating? Maybe you could do the same thing and just squirt water into the mouth and catch it in a bucket?
I wish I could see the videos.
Of course I'm glad there is no smell-a-vision................

Well at least if I ever have to do it, I now have some idea as to how to proceed.
Thanks

At least this wasnt a post about what to use to get cud juice off the ceiling. 
Here's hoping it works to get Gretta's guts back in shape.

None hit the ceiling!  But man does that stuff stink! I am used to bad smells, and it's not the worse, but still bad

What amazed me was that after you did that to Tinker, she just stood there and shook her head. She must trust you deeply. Heck, if we tried to do that with any one of our goats, after we released, they'd be have way across the planet, or headed there full speed. Hoof trimming is dramatic enough. I don't know HOW I'd pull that off - but you can bet I'd be using a thick wooden spoon too!

Would it be possible to hold the goat's mouth closed instead and then swipe the cud from the outer cheek with the other hand?

Ha! Hopefully I won't ever need to. Goat burps are stinky enough...I can only imagine what it's like in liquid and solid form!
