Texas is not only the nation's largest cattle state but also ranks number one in sheep & goats, especially Angora goats. Twice a year these animals get a trim.
I lived on a farm with a bunch of Angora's as a kid and loved hanging out in the barn watching them. They look so funny with the hair over their eyes lol
I have wanted Angora or Cashmere Goat's when I had my farm. I want to get another farm so I can do this, I'm now researching which would be best suitable between Angora Goat's or Cashmere Goat's ❓🐐
you have to change the dog.. the dog must be "kangal" or "aksaray malaklısı".. your dog - effect, this two dog make + effect.. a small beware big change..
Because they were clipped and had a short coat afterwards. I clip my horses and they were hot from their thick winter coats. Was in the 80s, so I clipped them in mid-March. In 2015 was a late cold snap with ice and rain. My horses were shivering, so got them under shelter and blankets. Goats sound like had something similar, but out in a field in the weather. I now clip only when not a chance of freezing for my area, though could blanket them if necessary.
They don't like the rain. When the wool, a big thick coat as you said gets wet, they get freezing cold and die. Sorry I know you asked this ages ago but, well, there you go.
Don't clip your goats until after last historical freeze date, which is past March for that area. I clip my horses and if you can't provide them shelter, then don't clip them too early. Bad to hear that folks lost goats to the weather after clipping them. Bad press for your industry! PETA has its sights on your industry. So treat the goats well!
That's twice you have said that about goats dying because of being clipped. Goats don't like to get wet, all that wet wool gets them freezing and they die of cold, nothing to do with clipping. Although they should have shelter whether clipped or not.
