Shadow

Shearing has begun again with Shadow the first to be relieved of all that winter hair. Shadow is a very sweet and friendly doe, with tons of very soft and silky hair.
She can hold her own with the older does she lives with, this group gets extra feed. The older and the younger get a little more grain to keep some extra fat on them, if that is possible in a goat. They live in a  barn with a small pasture close to the house, making it easier to keep up with them, the young and the old can get lost or tangled in briars sometimes. After shearing it was clear to see Shadow had wintered well.
