lol I know it IS a need!! My friends near me have fainters without the long coat... so I refer to mine as foo foo goats
The coats are usually at full length by 3 years old, i believe. They all seem to develop differently. Buckley was hairy and already had bangs at 12 weeks old. Elvira, who is completely unrelated to Buckley was also very hair as a baby.... Some of my other bloodlines are hairing over slowly.
I bought Rapunzel as an adult and her hair touches the ground (but that sort of length is hard to get)
In that case I need two now! I wish I could, just as soon as I graduate college I can have all the goats I want (just have to keep telling myself that)
