Since the goats are "dry" right now, their udders aren't very impressive. (Except for Elly May's! She is a "first freshener." Earlier this year she just had two tiny little teats and now she has a full udder!) However, the long hairs growing under their udders kept growing and getting longer and longer... The kids will soon be here and so will milking time! Keeping the hairs around the udder cut short helps the goat kids be able to find the udder easier and also keeps hair out of the milking pail (yuck). So, it was a great time for an udder hair cut!
Elly May's udder before...
I found a beard trimmer in with the haircut kit that our family uses. We weren't using it so I confiscated it for the goats and it works great!
We had to coax Elly May to stay still on the milking stand while she had her udder trimmed!
All finished! This udder is ready for baby goats and milking time now!
