Okay, now that I've picked myself up off the floor from laughing so hard.
helmstead: I had a mental picture of someone shaving ........ "danglies" and I just about snorted the coffee I was drinking. I have never attended a show and NEVER knew danglies were shaved.

You should see the look on the owners of the danglies faces when that occurs, too! They can't believe it either.Melissa'sDreamFarm said:Okay, now that I've picked myself up off the floor from laughing so hard.

OK stupid question from a newbie - if i'm not going to show my goats I don't have to shave them right?
No, not unless they get really hot in the summer, then you might want to. I'm shaving the buck I'm getting just to keep the smell down, and since I'm not showing him I'm taking away his oh-so-manly smelling beard. Cruel of me... I know.

Clipping danglies?? That's it, I'm never showing goats!
I thought some of the things I did for showing horses was bad enough to get out of showing! Your sure not making me want to return to the ring with a goat!

How about doing a video on goat clipping so the rest of us can do it in under three hours?! I've got ten adults and a few kids to clip next month and I'm dreading it.helmstead said:
In fact, maybe you could fly out to Idaho and I'll videotape you clipping my goats!

I'll do it Julie, I sure wouldn't mind a vacation. Wait... if I groom for a living then I guess grooming a herd of goats wouldn't feel much like a vacation...
Oh, but Idaho is so pretty!

Being 30 minutes away from home - these days - for an overnighter is a vacation

I've forgotten what a vacation is. The last time DH and I went on a road trip it was to Texas to pick up goats! This time of the year even trips to the grocery store in 'town' have to be planned around kid feeding times.
Seriously, I'd pay for a video that showed a professional clipping technique on goats, as opposed to just 'getting the hair off'!
