How to Wash & Clip Boer Show Goats

Video Transcript

"Hi! This is Bob Powell with Powell Show Goats in Brady, Texas and we are here representing Expert Village. In this clip we are going to talk about how to get your animal ready for the show as for as preparation and the looks. Of course you have already exercised your goat and he is ready in that means. Once you get ready to make a show, you have to have your goat trimmed. Either on a mutton goat which is a male goat that has been altered. Several show has different things that they will do. Most of them are going to where they sheer them slick. They will take a pair of clippers and you cut all the hair off of them right down to the skin. On a nanny goat, which is a female goat, what you want to do is you will get out your shampoo and rubber boots, your water hose and you are going to wash this goat. That is when the entertainment kind of starts. You wet them down first, put the shampoo on them, rub it in real good and you spray it off. Some goats really like that and some are not very happy with you. After you get that done, you take a blow dryer and blow dry their hair, you make it look white and shiny, very pretty. The shampoo of choice, they have one Bright White, that is what we use. Sometimes goats will get yellow hair especially back around their tail area. You put the Bright White on there. It is kind of like a bleach, it bleaches their hair out and makes it shine. That is probably the basic rules for preparing your animal for a stock show. Thank you for watching. "
