Shaving A Buck For Show

[@thelowlygoatherd9268]

I think it's really interesting that he has a white dorsal stripe. I've never seen that before! Thank you for the incredible video!!! As a new goat owner, these help immensely!!:)

[@ehsaanpanhwar8084]

ferret! at the disco 👍🏻❤️🇵🇰

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Yes he does :)

[@DrRaven-xh2nf]

I love the dorsal stripes, my wether is white and has a black stripe of long fur that he raises in the air when he's excited The white on brown looks beautiful though.

[@zoelynngonzalez5971]

Very interesting. He behaved very well for you! Handsome boy!!

[@catherinewebster6405]

You make it look so easy! Questions: What shaver do you recommend? Will their hair grow back in time for winter?

[@suzannelaforce6988]

He's a handsome boy!

[@진용준-z5w]

I don't blame them for being upset with you messing with their family Jewels.

thanks for the great video can you make one on feeding for milk production, weight gain on adults/kids

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

luckypup16 That will absolutely be put on the list! working on show goat videos for the next couple weeks in preparation for show but will get to that right after. Thanks so much for the input and ideas!!

Hi Crystal 🤗 Would you please consider producing a video on bucks - why they pee on themselves 😶 how to keep them relatively clean, how many you need to keep together, can you keep them with other livestock and how far away from the ladies do they their pen? Thanks 🥰

[@hariskelsey9666]

Hey there, I’m not crystal however I may be able to help. The bucks pee on themselves to try and smell appealing to the does (there idea of perfume lol ). You need to keep at least two bucks together or a Buck and a weather but they need another goat companion, the more goats the happier they will be and they are a good ways away from the does, further the better but if you have a good secure pen and they won’t be bust through and breed the does then you don’t have to go too far. The further away the better really because the closer they are the more rambunctious the boys will become and it may irritate/frustrate them :)

[@ryleighbirmingham1486]

just got a buck to breed our doe finally it's taken a year to find one!

[@deserthardtdairygoats]

How many days before a show do you clip your herd?

[@hariskelsey9666]

Usually a week or so before the show, but you can clip them on the day of the show if need be. Whatever works best for you

[@arliewolf1918]

cool video you guys

[@missynoykos6545]

How do you clip a buck kid for show? Do you clip the whole head?

[@focusdrugged]

Satisfying

[@janepowers484]

What do you wash them with?

[@soranderkaiser4109]

hi

[@thomashinebaugh7338]

How soon before a show do you shave a buck or doe? Wife is thinking about showing a new buckling we just got and trying to figure everything out, we showed Miniature horses in the past but goat showing is new to us. Thanks

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Goat shows are so fun!! It depends on what blade you use. If you use a #10 atleast 2 weeks. I now use a #4 and you can do it right before show or up to a week before. Using the #4 also makes sure they dont get sun burnt because the hair is still long enough to hide their skin. A #10 is pretty bald and they can get sun bur t easily.

[@shawnpower6206]

Why shaving? Do does need to be shaved also?

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

We shave for shows. We do shave the does also. We have other videos with does being shaved. The judge can't see their body, Or conformation, if their hair is really long. Stay tuned for a milking shave soon!

[@ashlynngonzalez1064]

Do they have shows where you can just show Adga bucks. All the shows I go to only allow does and I want to show my bucks.

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

There are much less buck shows then there are shows for does. They are out there just have to find one close to you. Next year I will be traveling 6 hours to New Mexico if we don't have one where I usually show. Hasn't been one in 2 years where I show.

❤️❤️❤️

[@christinathompson3498]

Why do they need to be shaved for show

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

So the judges can see the body of the animal. Hard to tell conformation with all that hair
