Clippity-clip


The past few days I've been busy clipping my does in order to update my Nigerian web-pages. Here's Veliraf TW N'utmeg after she's had her spring haircut. I always forget how elegant the goats looked once they are clipped, not that they appreciate it. Spring is finally here after an interminable winter, and the last couple of days have been quite nice. Our barn is filling up with lambs, we have pure Finns, Romanovs, Shetland and Icelandics this year- so there is always someone interesting to look at. Our last group of Nigerian Dwarf Goat kids should be here any day. We are waiting for the following does to freshen- Veliraf P's Thistle, Veliraf P's Thorn, Veliraf MP Nadia, Veliraf P's Tupelo, and Veliraf SUG Tickseed. Little Tupelo is as big as a house right now, and spends much of her time sitting on her haunches, like a dog. She looks so darned uncomfortable!!
