Another first

The weather warmed up enough to tackle the job of implanting a micro-chip into the hind end of the last cris that needed identification.

The appearance of the needle used to insert the chip is enough to put fear into a novice. However, having some experience in administering the worming shot we "plunged" forward.

Really the process is no different than the dewormer: run some alcohol over the area and slip the needle in. Rob had a good hold of the cria, and it was all over in a jiff.
