Conditioning calf for a show.

Here's a few photos of my girl, less than a month between photos. I can already see a difference in coat.

So Beautiful!
I hope you can get lots of pics at the show!

I'm not a fan of hairy goats, but I LOVE hairy cows!

I think it's so cool that you are going to show her!

Adorable!!

I love hairy goats

Some hairy goats look awesome (like the buck pic that @OneFineAcre posted trying to get a smooch), others... not so much. I've never really experienced hairy cows, but this one is gorgeous! Best of luck at the show!

Hey, hairy/manly buck faces are different!
Long hair on does freak me out. Love the slick feeling and look of a freshly clipped doe.

OK, so just curious... I know you're in FL, but even you sometimes get cold snaps and depending where (how far south) it can get pretty danged cold in FL. I've seen snow and ice both. Anyway... do you let the goats grow out some hair for winter then shave in spring or keep shaved year round?

OK I don't get the shaved goat thing. Other than in the dead of summer why do you do it? I am way too unmotivated for that. Also it's way too cold a large portion of the time. I like fluffy goats.

Yes, I just have it like that for now. I haven't seen snow, but it gets very cold. What's the point of being 20 degrees if it doesn't snow?

Oh and sorry, I meant to comment on the actual point of this thread, which is that calf is so stinking cute! And I don't even like cows. I just want to hug it.
