Mine love wearing shirts. My baby girls have two different ones to wear lol. I keep telling Eric I'm going to buy them footie ons and cut holes so they can still potty.

Love the photos.

The neighbors already think Im crazy, so if I put the goats in shirts, they would think I lost it for sure.

Now I just have to figure out what kind of shirts to put on them

Boy in that first pic I had to do a double take cause it fits so well! The knot even looks like a white tail. Then realized you put a shirt on her.

It's funny cuz I have it on kinda loose so she can still "fluff up" and Frankie has been infatuated with the knot and rubber bands all day...but it's still hanging on!

Just be careful...no killing with kindness A healthy goat does much better with their natural coat in the winter. They fluff up and that is better insulation than any blanket can do. I know. I live in blzzard -30 degrees in the winter with blowing winds that take your breathe away. The healthy animals do best left alone. As long as you offer good grass hay an shelter from the wind. When you put coats on them it flattens their coat and takes away their natural insulation. Gretta is loosing hair....so she needs to be blanketed. This is the first I have blanketed anyone in 6 yrs.
