From the shows that I've watched, breeding females tend to be hairy (though not as hairy as cattle) and market wethers/does need to be slicked. I believe they were originally a desert breed, so it takes a lot of work to grow hair on them, but I have seen it done.

I don't show them but we have boers. They can grow hair for sure. Hairy buggers are starting to shed now and I could fill a garbage bag off each one I think. Keep in mind I live where it's below freezing 6 months of the year though...
