Disbudding spot bleeding? Normal?

A good friend used her disbudding iron on 4 of my kids on Wednesday. My vet came by on Friday to test my does and said the disbudding looked great!
Well, this morning I went out to feed them and one was bleeding. It was not from the horn itself, but the ring. I didn't have my camera, and most of the blood (which was fresh red) was rubbed off when he nursed.

Here is the best picture I could get. Is this normal? And should I do anything for him? He is acting totally normal.

Thanks all

It's normal. They bump things and each other's heads, etc., if there is lots of blood use blood-stop powder/cayenne/flour or something of the sort to stop it but I'm sure he'll be fine with out it.
