Getting the kittens and Barney cat spayed and neutered are on my list, found a nice home for one of the females, she had a job offer as a mouse patrol. The newly shorn bucks were up and out eating hay this morning, they are shivering a bit, but shivering is a way to warm you when you are cold. It's amazing how fast the hair will grow back on an angora goat.There will be an inch in a month from now. If the goats are not shorn they will get sluggish as the hair gets longer, lice will eat on their skin, and they will hang the locks of hair in their teeth trying to bite at them, sometimes a horn will get tangled in the locks as they try to scratch. It's like a load is lifted off them when they loose the heavy coat and their metabolism increases. The body tells them to eat and start the growing process all over again.
