I just ordered new clippers and tried them out yesterday.
They came with just a 10 blade and I tried it out one one of the junior does.
Not a good idea with a mostly white goat...I'm going to have to put sunscreen on her...
But your goat looks good!

You absolutely need to keep sunscreen on them
Particularly the lighter colored ones

We realized something today
We were looking at the 2016 Milk Production leader board and based on those numbers Climate Control could make the top 10 for fat
She has produced 62 lbs as of day 124 and is forecasted to produce 101 lbs
Last year 3 goats tied for 8th with 98 lbs
Next test is next Thursday so we will see where she stands
Breeder we got her from said we needed to pump the groceries in her
ETA
The 62 lbs was at Day 165 not 124

So our buckling Vivaldi we purchased this spring is about 12 weeks old
Put him with one of the yearling Does who was in heat and he showed no interest
Never had that happen
ETA
He's 6 months old
Don't know where I got
12 weeks

12 weeks old? Thought he was a spring kid?
Hope Climate starts feeling better.
