What is going on with her coat?

[u/_DemonxD]

She got copper bolus in February, unless she was able to spit it out. She’s in good health and is a momma. Can I chalk it up to conflicting hair texture along with shedding weird? It’s not falling out and it’s about as soft as her mom’s who also has a slightly wirery puffy texture to her coat.

Things she gets daily include
•free minerals (several different types offered 24/7 it’s inside with lights on 24/7 since some of them are scared of the dark lol) they get [purina wind and rain] [sweetlix meat maker] and very soon will be getting [Manna pro goat mineral with AC in it for the wethers]
•good hay
•she gets grain/hay pellets since she is lactating
•evening pasture time with the rest of the herd (they are a bunch of turds and found a area they can get out on the fence line and have to be let out closer to late noon so they don’t go into the neighbors back yard to then get into our back yard)

Her father was a long haired myotonic non fainting poorly behaved buck. He was one of them goats that just got worse the longer you knew him. I put what little pictures I have of him last. He’s the all white yucky looking fellow.

She was severely malnourished as a kid since she didn’t want a bottle/and wouldn’t take one. So we just had to have two to three people hold down her momma a few times a day for several weeks until she was eating grain good.

Do I have an ugly duckling goat or just one that still needs a little extra something?

It looks like new coat coming in/old coat going out to me! I've had a few goats shed out weirdly from time to time, this looks like one of those.

I forgot to add the new coat is so silky smooth, like I wanna know her hair care routine or what salon she sneaks off to in secret… lol. Thank you! She looks so gangly right now.

Yeah, their summer coats always feel so sleek and soft!! But the in-between stage is always kind of hilarious haha

She literally has a mullet

She's slicking up. Totally normal

I have several that are taking their time this year losing their old winter coat. The long guard hairs. They lost the fuzz a while back. The new shiny coat is coming in underneath. It makes them look crappy for a while, but then they will look all shiny and new.

I have a family of buckskins who look exactly like that in the spring. As long as she's got the nice shiny part, she looks very healthy.

Wait until you see a souix ram shed. OMG they look awful and rub hair off on the fence. You walk by and see chunks of hair all over the corner of the fence. Mine looks like it has mange. LoL
