Scruffy Goat
Spring is definitely here, and summer fast approaching. In fact, our high temperatures for the days are in the mid-80s this week.
That means all the critters are losing their winter fluff.
Our little goat doe is a cashmere cross. Funny thing though, it’s only been the last couple of years she’s really had a lot of the cashmere. Maybe it’s because she was always pregnant for twins during the previous winters, and there weren’t enough nutrients left over to grow a lot of wooly cashmere!
For whatever reason, she has a good bit now, and it’s all shedding out. . .
Our scruffy little goat.
She looks a little ragged. If I were a spinner, I’d be out there combing out that nice cashmere. But I’ve done it in the past and paid with 2 or 3 days of higher pain levels.
So she just stays scruffy until it all combs out on its own, or she rubs against the fence to pull it out.
