So far

I am so far behind. Didn't get my kids shorn before SAFF so I am playing catch up. The weather is still nice, beautiful, and the kids are fat. They have fared well over the summer. A goat in good condition and fed well with free choice hay and a good barn can take the cold nights. A goat that is in poor condition and not the healthiest could get hypothermia. You have to know your goats. This buck kid had a ton of hair and would not grow as well had he not been shorn until spring. Mohair is heavy and needs to be shorn when ready so new growth can begin. I always shear my does before kidding, no matter the time of year, nothing could help her more.
