Updated...February - Doodle kidded, pics page 32

[Roll farms]

1-3 weeks from their due date we clip 'em all. Sometimes I'll go ahead and do one up to a month ahead, if I've got the clippers there anyway. Doodle hasn't been done yet b/c yesterday Jazmine knocked my 'good' set off the milkstand and they busted. I'll break out my 'old' trimmers and do Doodle sometime in the next few weeks.
My good ones were Osters, my old ones Wahl. They were originally bought to trim our dogs with...but they work fine on goat business.

Hahaha I was going to comment on Creampuff's nose as well.

That's a lot of big bellies!

I clip mine too, I've got a couple of girls so hairy I can't even SEE if they're starting to bag up. I did mine today. I use Oster A-5 clippers, they're a nice size for doing detailed work like that as well as shaving them for show, that way I only need one set of clippers. They aren't too thrilled about their haircuts, but I can't stand it when they kid and get all slimy and crusty on their tails and rears and it is too cold to bathe them. Yuck.

I love her honker....It's about the ONLY Nubian trait she has, lol.

I realize different strokes for different folks....but I <3 Puffy. She's the only one of our original Nubs still w/ us. Going on 9 yrs old now.

I'm so fed up w/ waiting and watching these fat things I could just spit.

However...my best friend's baby shower is today, I'm giving it so will be very busy w/ that....and it's very, very cold out this weekend....and there is a playoff game tonight.

I'm sure it won't be long now....*heavy sigh*

I'm right there with you. One down, 5 more to go. I'm exhausted!

Her nose reminds me of the Shami goats. (they have about 12 other names but that one I can regularly spell correctly)


And this one was the "most beautiful goat in the world".
