Poor Elsie, has all those for whom he's responsible, goats included.

I have one unhappy goat, as she was grabbed and held while getting the currycomb treatment to remove that winter shaggy coat.

My buddy held Gracie (the smallest) while I removed enough fluff to make a decent sized rabbit.

No, I don't think the hair (fur?) is good enough for sweaters.

The other three have pretty much rubbed all of their winter coat off on the trees and barn.

(That's Ellie Mae givin' me the eyeball!)

I love domesticated goats. They’re like big cats but even more inquisitive.

LOL they are sweet. It looks like EllieMay is telling you not to come near her with that dam curry comb..

Any fiber can be spun, some people even spin their dogs hair. My lab just got back from the doggie parlor today, she was shaggy as a buffalo, now sleek and smooth. I have enough hair clumps floating around my house to use to knit a sweater. Now I can vacumn and suck them all up. This winter she has shed enough to make 2 medium size dogs...

I don't see your blond one in that picture....:O) Your sweet goats sure have it easy except for the currycomb..:O)
