Ours shed all on their own, and look alot like goats in the summer until they get their heavy coat back. We raise ours and sell the boys for meat. They are VERY easy to raise. We love them, and they all have names, of course!Vintage Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973639063838836949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917917467710123992.post-33536394878818390992011-03-25T17:24:09.277-07:002011-03-25T17:24:09.277-07:00Give Burdock a hug from me.
