Angora Goat Shearing

Here is Cinnamon, he's a 3 year old Angora goat with a lot of lovely curls! Angora goats give mohair, many of us know of mohair sweaters as being not only warm but soft and light to wear but not many of us know where that mohair comes from!













Here you can see I've started shearing from his back side forward, and you can see the soft fuzzy side of his curley coat.
And here he is with his completed summer crew cut so he can go out and impress the ladies all summer with how cool he is!

Zeus is now called Bounce, sideways diapers work well on boys!!

Since Zeus lives in a laundry basket he has now been ranamed to 'Bounce', he bounces in and out of that basket all the time!















Notice the diaper, DD decided to put it on like an upside down saddle. Not only was it difficult to keep on but the diaper didn't cover his pee hole and we wound up cleaning up a lot of puddles until she got the idea to turn the diaper around.

Works great!!
