I don't see your blond one in that picture....:O)

Ol' Casper is probably just off somewhere, chewing his cud. He REALLY doesn't like to move around too much - lazy butt!

His hooves need trimed the most often. The others have black hooves, but his is white: grows about twice as fast.

I don't have enough rocks and cement for them to climb on that would keep them sanded down naturally, so I have to do it.

Jack will stand there and let me cut his without being held steady.The other 3 are like giving wildcats baths!

I hear you on the hoof trimming...I did mine every 3-4 months. When I took the goats down, I wormed them, deloused them and trimmed the hoofs all at the same time. All the goats except the big bucks and wethers I could do myself, hubby had to help with the big ones...It was fun and really kept you in shape, catching and throwing anywhere for 20 to 70 goats, depending on the year..

Its been 20 years since I sold the farm, but still have the hooftrimming shears. They are great for cutting old toenails that get harder and thicker as you get old...LOL
