Why use our clipping guide?

There’s two simple reasons you can trust our guide: experience and success.

Ryan Throckmorton, the principal of Throckmorton Show Goats, has raised and shown registered Boer goats for nearly 15 years. Over that decade and a half, Ryan has traveled the country showing goats. His experience in a variety of show rings allowed him to learn from many industry professionals. Further, he’s found the techniques that work the best. Through all of this experience, he’s honed the art that is clipping goats.

Throckmorton Show Goats is also a standout in the show ring. With Ryan’s leadership and attention to detail, we’ve fit and shown champion after champion. From local, small shows to the majors and the ABGA National Show, we’ve hung awards from many show rings. That success can largely be attributed to how Ryan clips goats in a way that highlights their assets.
