It was a bit at first. I was probably a bit too conservative because I didn't want to cut off too much and make them bleed. Also, some of the larger goats had gone too long between trimmings so they were really bad -- poor things. After I got in the swing of it, it went pretty well. I think this crew could work on improving their setup and make sure their tools are sharpened before doing so. That and do it more frequently so it doesn't get as out of hand.
