Who dairy clips their goats before kidding? I like to do so, as it makes it easier to clean them up and milk with out tons of stuff to get in the milk pail. Plus I get to see the udders building as they get closer..

Wow, you do a nice job of clipping. If there was a market for it, you could be a goat hair-dresser. :)
To be honest, I've never considered clipping my girls. I give them a brush down before I milk. But, after seeing your pics, I just may change my ways.
I hope Sweet Pea kids well with no problems.

Their back ends look like my goats. Not right now though because they are so hairy. I normally get the clippers out after they've kidded, before I start milking. And right now it's SO freezing cold! I don't want them to freeze. But I do like the tails and back legs trimmed so no gook gets stuck. Yours look really good. But really, the one on the left looks like Penelope's back end and the one on the right looks like Zeeboo and Abby. Very nice. When are they due?
