  1. I think you are right! They may have a little pygmy in them. They are only slightly bigger than the pygmy we just got. They look like tiny little Boer goats. Very cute.

  2. @oThErSiDeOfReAsOn You should take them to the sale barn and start over. Look for a Dairy got breeder in your area and invest in a good quality animal.

  3. My husband and myself have 3 goats. Two nannys and a billy, nubian and boer mix. We are wanting to milk them for cheese making. Will we have much luck with these breeds as far as quantity ? They are awfully small little goats. Roughly a year old each

  5. I got a goat with a huge lump on its right side (As if it was very fat on one side of its body) It kinda walks slow and its ass is haging low when he walks. I thought she was sick, like worms or something, I just bought her a month ago, so i dont know what she’s been through, Her utter hangs lower then the other goats, is she sick or pregnant? she always seems to wanna lay down in her house. she makes light moaning noises and medium to heavy breathign when she lays down.
