hehehe We have the cheapo remington clippers. They do a good job too. Your Mary Jane is beautiful & you did get her udder nice and smooth!!

That really is a nice looking udder! I hope you are able to milk her. What kind of clipper did you use to get such a good clip on her?

My husband's!!! LOL They are $25 WAHL clippers from Walmart...it's what we had.

That is great news because that is what my husband has and I am planning on secretly using it when my girls are ready to kid.

Are they the small head beard trimmers?? Because that is the kind we have.

No, they are the bigger kind for cutting hair. (I cut my husband's hair and my 3 boys) I bet the smaller ones will work if you go slow???

You think I'm kidding.

Here is a picture of when I did it about 2 weeks ago.

I think I might try a redo today.

That is funny! Just clean the clippers real good so DH doesn't know...

I got myself a real nice Oster clipper set though. I think I paid $50 or $75 for it, and it was more than half off. You'd think it would work. :/ Hmm maybe I need a new blade.

I was really hoping that Mary Jane would kid today. I have company coming tomorrow and will be busy with preparations...doe code says she will go into labor when they get here! LOL I put a baby monitor in the kidding stall to monitor activity tonight. It is supposed to get down to 36 degrees which isn't too cold but I want to make sure the babies are nice and dry as soon as possible to prevent chilling. Not noticing any unusual behavior...I will update when I have anything interesting to report!

Same thing going on here! I have a doe due tonight, but so far nothing. It's pretty chilly out there and I'm tired so I hope she goes tomorrow.

At least we can be anxious together.

Can't wait to see what she has!

No activity last night! I'm so glad I had that baby monitor and could listen instead of get up every few hours to check on her. I would have lost alot of sleep for nothing! Today is the due date...I'll keep ya posted!
