[Jacob-list] Rooster Spurs

[CARL FOSBRINK]

      I take a pair of wire cutters and cut about 1/4
to 1/3 of the spurs off blunt. Their spurs are like
their toenails, they have a quick, so if you don't cut
into the quick you won't have any bleeding and the
rooster will feel no pain. If you are useing a rooster
for breeding or have him penned up where scratching
won't keep his toenails worn down it is a good idea to
trim the ends of his toenails off also. Again, don't
cut so much off that you get into the quick. I have
bred, shown and judged poultry for over 40 years so I
know more about poultry than Jacobs, but am beginning
to build up a nice flock of Jacobs with some nice ewes
from Mary Spahr and Luther Hardy and my ram ,
Sweetgrass Reason, who came from Michigan. Carl.
