This is something I'd like to know how to do. So I was wondering if it would work to pick up a few cheap goats or sheep to practice ongcreekrch said:ez14. said:Would it be pretty much the same to do one on a goat?
Yes, I have done a few on sheep. Haven't saved many lambs but the ewes made good meat a few months later.
