DI, I am so sorry. I went with my Husband and Daughter to her State FBLA, so I have not had a chance to get on the internet.
Ok, just to tell you. I NEVER sheer my goats. I comb out as much that I can get out, and then I just leave them. I can not sheer them like that because I show them and it would not grow back in time for the shows. Now I do know that a lot of people do sheer them. If I did it would ruin our chance in shows, because they really do not take in account that they were sheered when they see all the guard hair, (they look at what the value of the Cashmere is in the bag, not what it will be after it is processed) plus when you send it to be processed it is so hard to get the cashmere out and not waste so much. The place I send it to they go by incoming weight, so we have to keep as much guard hair out as possible.
I would say wait, when it is ready to blow it will and then it will be really easy. If you can get it right, it will all come off in one days of combing, it should not take several. I still have one boy that is full of fiber. I should be able to get him combed out now, because some of it is hanging. All my other goats have been combed out for months. Most of them blew in Jan and Feb. We are the only ones in the 4H group that had the goats blow that early.
