It's so funny differences in preference... I like goats to not be clipped (just udders when milking), I just brush them out while they're shedding. But if I had a whole lot of them I supposed I'd clip them too for efficiency. They look too naked when they're clipped to me.

Chandasue....you ever had a Togg when it's shedding?

It looks like a Wooly Mammoth! There's no brush that can cure it!

Probably like our ND's, although some of them have thicker coats than others. I don't think my arms would hold out long enough to shed them out with a brush! :/

Nope, just ND's so far. They get a thick undercoat and they look rough for about a month in the spring but once that's out they're nice and sleek. I've only seen a toggs in summer haircuts and that must be why they're always clipped.

I've always been ashamed to post a pic of one when they're 'blowing coat'...but I will this spring.

Imagine your hairiest goat, multiply it by 10, and THEN you'll have a Togg.

How's Nissan doing? I hope no news is good news!

Wow that little spotted fellow may be the cutest little goat I've ever seen. OK now I want a spotted Nubian!

Ok, I'm not going to start a new February thread for one doe...but up next is our favorite Nubian, Doodle.
She's due Saturday. She's had a single, then twins, then triplets, and 2 sets of quads...looks to be twins or trips this time.
Just checked and she has goo, but her ligs are firm.
After her, we're done until March.

eta: Nissan's doing fine...she's back in w/ the herd and FINALLY drying up. I milked 3/4 of a gallon out of her for a couple days, which is A LOT for her...all those Oxytocin / hormone shots really had the milk flowing.
We won't know for sure that her girlie parts are ok until next year, buttttt....she's back to "normal"...or as normal as she ever is.

Can't wait to see more babies pictures!
