Goat Disbudding

"After disbudding iron is hot, apply it firmly over horn area and rock it around slowly for 3.5 to 4 seconds. Remove the iron and repeat if necessary and do the other side. Evaluate the success of the procedure by its color. goal is to have the area look like "chrome tanned leather". Black color represents burned hair and is indicative of inadequate burning. Clipping the site prior to burning will eliminate the problem of burned hair. Scent glands are located near the base of the horn and descenting could be done at the same time if desired. Inject the kids with 150 IU tetanus antitoxin. Although the risk of tetanus after disbudding is not great, it is a good practice to administer tetanus antitoxin."

After the first 4 second burn (that's about how long it takes to kill the nerves, make sure you're on the right spot.
Copper ring must be ALL the way around.
Hold iron at an angle and burn right in the center.
Commenter: trimming hair first might decrease total burn time needed because you aren't wasting time burning the hair.
