[@MillaRaeDeshibeau]

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

:)

[@heavenly-dreamsdairygoats]

Great demonstration on shaving for show. Thank You for the links too of what you use. Love all your videos.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Thank you lady!

[@DwainCurtis]

If you use a 7F with the lay of the hair, it will give you the same hair length as a 4F against the lay of the hair. You are fabulous Crystal...love your videos.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Yes! And the #10 is like the 4 when going with the hair. Nice tricks ;)

[@JerryGDawg56]

Gooood morning Crystal!!! Wishing y’all a wonderful day!!!

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Thank you! You as well :)

[@alecschester1824]

[@jaymecurry9350]

[@charolettemitchell9671]

I have been raising about 5 goats now i am 13 i own a little Nigerian dwarf and she is just the sweetest little thing. Lately we had to move all my goats to a new location and it is very hot and the people we used to be friends volunteered to feed them. They had a certain way they were supposed to feed them to keep them healthy and they have made the decision to either not feed her or feed her way to much she almost died of a heatstroke about a week ago. My dad is going to get her next week and move her to my house so i can care for her i have shaved my bores and just clipped on my other goats i had no clue how to clip my little bean and this helped so much THANK YOU!!!!

[@sathiskumar7594]

[@mariaakers8961]

I’m getting ready to have my girl shaved! By a local dog groomer lol 😂 I’m going to send her your video so she can do it like yours! I absolutely love the way you shave! I’m not going to show or anything I just personally love the way they look show shaved❤️ do the flies bother them and try to bite them worse with show shaved hair?

[@lilbitatatime3763]

Wonderful instructional video. She was a good model. Did you take her eyelashes off? 👍

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

No we leave the eyelashes alone :)

[@JessicaBrogleyUWP]

How often do you buy new clipper blades? I've got a Wahl, same size as yours. I trim about 8 goats a summer (once each) and I replaced the blades each year. After watching this video, I think I just needed to take better care of lubricating the blades. How often are you buying new blades?

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

You can sharpen the good blades! You take them apart and sharpen them on a sharpening stone. Without sharpening them, you should definitely get more use out of a blade then just 8 goats. Lubricating them a lot through each shaving is important. You can hear the grind when the oil is needed. I'd say I add oil to the blade a good 10 or more times with one goat.

[@nancykriegel9809]

This year I'm stuck showing a Dholing

[@audreydavion7102]

Thanks for your great videos. I’m new at this. I couldn’t find your link. Could you tell me where to find your bathing/clippers used? I’m going to give it a shot! Thanks.

[@puddlesmeadher6792]

can you spin this type of goat hair?

[@leonardcatabay5926]

Which number you use on the body and for the feet..thanks

[@honeysnowhomestead7223]

What type of soap do you use for bathing the goats?

[@fibergeek8362]

I live in Maine. What temperatures are safe to start clipping?

[@bloomingrusticshomestead8590]

Hey Crystal! The link for the clippers isn’t working. Do you have an Amazon storefront or anything similar?

[@sierrasioux2878]

Crystal I have a sick goat and I have to give my first shot of penicillin do you have any tips? I’m super nervous! For the last two days he has had diarrhea and hasn’t Eaten a whole lot! I would love any advice you can give me!

[@DanishButterCookie]

Make sure she drinks, diarrhea dehydrates. Since shes being given penicillin, is there any diagnosis?

[@sierrasioux2878]

Cookie Crusher I haven’t given the penicillin yet but the vet suggested I give him a dose tonight. Which is why I was asking for advice this is the first major problem I’ve had with my goats and I’m freakin out!

[@indizona4610]

How old is the goat? What does it normally eat? Clean water? Any sudden changes? Possible stress causes? Shes not off work yet. - Derek

[@sierrasioux2878]

Indi Zona Hi Derek thanks for reply. My goat is a 1 year old intact male. He has clean water. Recent changes are that he just came home from my uncles where he was breeding there goats. He was there for about 3 weeks and has been home for just under two weeks. He has been getting his grain mix that he got daily before he left and I know he only got hay/alfalfa mix while he was breeding.

[@indizona4610]

@@sierrasioux2878 is he alone in his pin or with a companion? Also to much grain/corn causes diarrhea.

[@lindsaymiller5757]

Would a #4 Wahl blade attachment work too? Thanks

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

It's the same length of cut.

[@lindsaymiller5757]

Ok, thanks.

[@sarahmyers1386]

Thats one furry goat

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

We are clipping in a couple weeks for our first show! I did purchase the clippers used your link girl ♥️♥️

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Thank you!! Youbwil LOVE those clippers!!

[@sierras.mp4s]

Littlebit must be enjoying her new haircut in that hot 🥵 Arizona sun ☀️

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

It certainly helps with the heat :)

[@elkejohanna8611]

Beautiful shaved marmol floor udder. They don't like their feet messed with though. I have also seen that they use to groom their back feet at a cat would. They chomp-lick and even spread their hoovy toes a little.

[@uniquereviewshacks2121]

This is satisfying to watch 😃

[@mesquitemagic]

Do you shave the goats you don't show, for the summer heat? I'm trying to decide if my girls need it. They looked so hot last year, but maybe I'm imagining things.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

I try to shave them all down, yes. It helps with the heat!

[@mesquitemagic]

@@BlueCactusDairyGoats Thanks. I'm going to try. I doubt my whether will stand still, but the girls might. Do you use the 4 blade for that, too?

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Yep

[@sierras.mp4s]

This is so satisfying Lol

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

😁
