My goats like having their bellies clipped. The hair down there is very thick, runs several different directions with lots of cowlicks and swirls, and it can be matted, so you have to go slow and be careful. But the end results are worth it. It gets rid of some prime hair for ticks and dirt to hide in.
Since our goats heat up more during driving than packing, I prefer to shave their entire backs. That, and it would look silly to have long hair over the saddle area on a driving goat! Our goats live outside 24/7, but we live in an arid, almost desert climate so they really don't need weather protection in the summer.
I love how our goats look after a shave. They're so sleek and dapper!
