Thank you! I am in the process myself of deciding if I want to add another pygmy buck or get a Nigerian dwarf buck. My pygmies only give me a few colors. Nigerians have all sorts.

I have 4 goats , 1 buck, 1wether, 2 female Saanens, I bought a young male and kept him in with the other 3 goats, I kept him in an anti-mating apron for awhile as I wanted my Saanens to be of age and weight before breeding, I keep them all together and they all get along fine, He is a very gentle male and even in rut he has no odor, he is disbudded. Both of my does are pregnant almost 3 months and i still have not removed him. I think bucks that are isolated are what makes them mean. I am 74 and have no problems with him. If he minds his manners, I will probably leave him with the does until they are about 4 months pregnant. I have only had goats for about 1 1/2 years, so just my way, and what seems to be working for me.
