No more brass catchers...
I've trained my pet goat, Mr. Nibbles, to sniff out my spent brass and retrieve it for me. I'm enjoying about a 85% success ratio.
Anybody else having this kind of luck with their service animals?

Please expand on this. Are we talking about a 36 hour recovery time? Cleaned and tumbled? Or he just finds them?
Had to ask. Sounds like a great idea on the surface though.

I tried to train my wife but all I got would have been a pair of .45 holes in the face if her eyes would have been guns!Guess I'll have to be doing the chicken dance myself for a loooooong while!

Goats will eat tin cans and not brass?

Only about 15% of the time, as noted. And that goes to recycling after being separated from the green waste.

With the stomach acid, is there a need to polish when the brass comes out the other end

I would bring one of my kids , they retrieved brass as I shot , then they got a turn shooting a few, then on the way home we stopped for ice cream ! Everybody came home happy !
My youngest boy was the best , he would root out mine and every other case on the floor or in the grass and dig through the trash barrels ! He would come home with a bucket of berdan primed cases for himself, it was his " case collection" , I honestly believe he enjoyed scrounging more than eating ice cream !
