Goat with Heavy Cashmere

Body Shaving
-
A full body clip is where you remove all the hair above the hocks and knees, leaving just a swish on the tail and trimming the hair just above the hoofline to clean up the pasterns.
-
Most people do a full body clip and use a #10 blade for the body, a #40 or #50 for udder, and #5 for face and pasterns.
-
Shave against the natural direction of the hair growth. It takes quite a bit of time to blend this clipping job into a smooth appearance.
-
If you choose to body shave your goat, do it two weeks before the show to be sure that there are no clipper marks.

Shaved Tail
|
- The tail needs to be shaved leaving hair on the tip like a brush. This photo shows the tail with to much tuff on the end.
- While shaving the tail will make the goat look wider, it can also make the butt look narrow if too much hair is left on the tip (end) of tail.
- I shave the underside of the tail almost to the tip as well.
- On bucks, shave down to the scrotum to show his "twist" (from thigh to thigh).
