Goat chip reader cover

I'm sure you're all wondering what on earth a goat chip reader is, and why I made a cover for one. Pygmy goats that are registered get a microchip put under their skin, in the tail or in the neck. Then that chip identifies them for shows or when they're sold. Jo and Kylie bought a chip reader, and needed a case for it, so tonight Kylie and I made one. I didn't have a pattern...we just measured and cut and sewed and all things considered, it came out pretty good for a first try. Nothing fancy but it will do the job. :0)

Thank you for the explanation as I was totally baffled - it does make sense that you'd want to keep track of them. We had our cat Big Dude chipped but he hasn't made a move to go outdoors since I rescued him from the pound. Not sure it was necessary. Cute cover!

I was sure I knew what it was for but I am sure others did not. Good job.

Well of course, everyone knows what a goat chip reader is--------not me, thank you for the explanation. Things certainly are high tech in farming/ranching these days. Your pouch makes a nice little cover for the reader.

They'll certainly know which one is theirs. Simple is best with these things. Did Kylie do much of the sewing?

Who knew there was such a thing as a goat chip reader but I think your little project worked out perfectly and I am sure it will do the trick nicely .

Pretty good feeling to apply your sewing skills like that. No pattern. Something needed. I dig that! *karendianne.
