Our 4H and FFA shows say to trim everything above the knees and this last show we went to this weekend, kids are fluffing the hair on the legs that is left below the knees. Are your goats being shown at ABGA shows or at 4H and/or FFA shows? And are the rules for clipping different?
Running that blending blade backwards like that will dull it very quick. You also run a Huge risk of cutting the goat using the clippers like that on the belly. One swift move, the goat is sliced. Go up a blade size and run the blade like its supposed to be ran. With the grain of hair. ~Groomer~
We use a blending blade like that for years and have never ran into it dulling and have never had a it cut the goat. If I was using a blocking blade you could cut them.
@@LetsTalkGoats and how often exactly do you have then sharpened? To say, and I'm not trying to fault you. I am a dog groomer so this is 100% my field, to say they never dull is 100% incorrect. Your welcome to ask any other certified groomer out there thats been grooming for over 20 yrs, the negative affect using clippers incorrectly has on them. Whens the last time any of them were serviced? And please never ever tell someone "oh I've been doing this and its never happened" because there is always that chance. And the world we live in today it would leave you open for problems my friend. I can show you cases were a dog suddenly moved and the blade sliced them. And thats With the human keeping one hand on the dog at ALL times. I dont speak in things unless i care and watching that made me cringe.. years upon years of experience here.. Just be careful,
@@phoenixrising3219I guess what I meant by never getting dull was never had to get dull any faster then any of my other blades all my blades get sent in every winter to be sharpened and I pick a new one every few years. I have blades I use on clean animals and one for dirty animals. I would say I clip about a 100 animals with no problems. Dogs and cats are way different then goats or show animals
@@LetsTalkGoats once a year? Ahh thats a sign of not being used as much as mine. Take it from a pro, learn to use that blending blade the right way, and not judging, and you'll have blades that last even longer. Remember, if your not using something correctly and having it fixed, replaced and sharpened those service providers won't tell you. They're making $$ lol
@@LetsTalkGoats no, no they're not very different. You see you assumed all I did was dogs and cats. As for show animals, my dogs are show dogs. Have been showing since 1998 sir. Been a groomer since 1996 ;) the differences are coat types. And thats not even a difference as terriers have the same coarse hair. The difference would be me using my equipment a lot more. I still have my original blades from when I bought my first set of clippers and they work beautifully! Not a easy accomplishment lol. Your average groomer does a couple hundred "pets" in a month. Im simply trying to help you with your equipment and prevent a lawsuit with poor advice.
Thank you so much for sharing! I will definitely use your tips and advice to trim my bucks!
Thank you
Good job! Good choice of music and nice that one can hear what you have to say. Thanks. I will try this haircut on our buck.
My wife made me put something more then banjo on it.
@@LetsTalkGoats That's too funny! Tell her the banjo is good too!

We show ABGA only time a goat should be shaved about the knee is if it’s a wether
What do you wash the bucks with?
We use ShowCoat products we like the showhite on then but use the the other one as well.
Do you shave the gotee beard on older bucks?
No
Why do you shave going into winter? Won't he get cold?
We done only time we clip them at all is for showing
Great video what’s the best beginner clipper for a good price I am just getting started and don’t have a lot to spend on clippers?
For the price the the cordless from Premier1
Premier 1 Supply 900cl I do have a video on it.
@@LetsTalkGoats ok thank you
How many days do you do this before a show?
You can clip up to a week before then do touchups the day of or do it the day of.
What blade was on there for his chest?
I use the premier1 1/4 or 1/2in Guard with a Eagle 10 blade.
How old is your buck
Is this how you would cut a buckling 8 months old?
This is how I would clip any buck
Do a show doe please
Why do something like this ?
We so it so they are all cleaned up for showing them.
