In case you missed the livestream today, YouTube demonetized my update about neutering our goats, saying it violates their standards regarding adult and sexual content.

Now only 18+ can watch the video, even though my 5-year old watched the actual procedure and 4H kids everywhere do this daily. My appeal was denied after their “review” confirmed the lewd nature of showing my goats’ balls. There is no blood in this video. Just a set of goat balls with a rubber band around them.

How do we encourage people to learn where their food comes from, or even to encourage self-sufficiency and the hard work of farming, without showing them the reality of the day-to-day operations? This video detailed how to know if banding worked - or if your animal needs medical attention. It’s important information.

Do a quick search on YouTube about post-op humans (including kids) removing or adding body parts and you’ll find no shortage. But goat balls cross the line.

This is how diet-related heart disease becomes the top killer for Americans, because we don’t know what’s in our food, or how it got to our table, and we’ve been trained not to care.
