So what model x-ray is it? How hard was it to get all the licences for it?

Nikon. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/nbojo29b3i6b8i54c3mak/h?rlkey=ugvytgyg2y0bp1bfuw7xnls7c&dl=0 We did have to get a permit from the state of California, which requires us to install and regularly check some dosimeters. This is our second x-ray machine, and regulatory hassles have been minimal.

What's inside a goat? Tin cans and barbed wire? Here in San Francisco, you wouldn't expect to see goats. But we have water reserviors on the tops of hills for gravity feed. And they get overgrown with grass and weeds. So once in a while the city hires herds of goats to eat the greenery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkuNn8iXOwM

So, it doesn't bother you to have goat crap in your water?
