They are lovely does! You did a great job clipping them too!
When you go to show take a #40 blade to the inside of the ear and it will be real neat.

Looks like you are doing a great job working with them.
If you can set them up on maybe a driveway or something where their legs aren't hidden in the grass that helps to see feet placement etc.

When is your first show again?

I'm not a goat person but those are beautiful animals.

No one has ever called you an old goat??

Thanks for the tip!

I guess you can't see their rear legs well... I used a #5 and a #10. Didn't blend too well..

I regretted the grass as soon as I saw the pics... Next time it will be cement!

I have paid the registration fee for a show in early November. However, I don't think I can make it as the mandated arrival time is 2 days prior. I plan on attending a few shows next spring/summer.

2 DAYS??? Nice way to limit participation. Who has 2 extra days?

Why two days before? That is strange.

Only place we ever had to do that was a state fair...big PIA!

It has something to do with state law and veterinary inspection of the animals. I talked to the chairperson, and there are no exceptions.

24 hr fills on Almondine and Buttercup.

Buttercup is an unregistered Nigerian. Her udder isn't pretty, but she's a decent milker.
