Goat conformation?

[User690263]

Hi,
Just out of curiosity I wanted to see what you guys think of my Nigerian Dwarf Goat's conformation.
She is a 8-9 year old ADGA registered Nigerian Dwarf Goat.
I know they aren't the best pictures, sorry.

It might also be hard to tell because she has very thick wool right now.

It would be a lot easier to evaluate her if she was clipped.

Yeah, I'm thinking about clipping her over the summer. I don't want to do it too early bc it's still pretty cold where I am

Makes sense to me. When I had my dairy, I clipped all the milkers in the summer. If your goat was a full-sized dairy breed, I could give you a really good evaluation of her conformation. Unfortunately, I don't know all that much about minis. I am sure there must be people here that do. Ask again after she is clipped.

I haven't bred her yet, I just have her as a pet, but I thought it would be fun to ask.
@cassie do you have any tips for clipping a goat?

Other than getting a pair of clippers? I started at the tail and went forward. You opposite the lay of the hair. You will get the feel of it after a few minutes.
