Getting a Shave

It’s starting to get hot here in Indiana. The goats have lots of woods to escape to that are much cooler, yet for some strange reason, they prefer to hang out at the barn where it is hottest.

The black goats are the ones that feel it the most, so we’ve started giving them their summer hair cuts.

There is a LOT of hair that gets shaved off:

We generally just do their bodies (and not their heads and necks).

We always think they look a little silly, but they feel a lot better!

We usually don’t shave the baby goats unless we have a baby with an unusually thick coat of hair.
