Pygmy Goat??

[hacharlton]

He is much larger than my girls. They are 3 yrs and 7 months old
This might help to tell what he is
he makes a strange sound unlike my females or any other goat I have heard

Here is a pic of Angel my oldest Pygmy and Prince, the unknown goat. You can see the size difference in this pic

the pics he looks bigger then a ND,, what about a fainter?

He has not fainted since I have had him. I have had him since Oct. 9th
Maybe I need to sneak up behind him and yell BOO!
Like I said before, he does not sound like any goat I have heard!
I can record some audio if that would help

The unusual vocalizations may be the song of a rutting buck. Is he curling his lip back and peeing on himself?

As for breeding, hard to tell. He is bigger, but is he too big? I am not sure, I think it is borderline. I don't think I would do it but actual weights may be the deciding factor.

 

[hacharlton]

Yes he is. Never had a male goat before so I thought it was funny to see.

Male goats make strange noises during breeding season. It's probably normal.

Not that I know anything about anything, but with all those muscles and those horns, he looks at least part Myotonic to me. And some Myotonics are pretty small.

I wouldn't think that he's too big. I would on;y worry if he were a full blown nubian or something, but he looks fairly small.

Not all fainters faint, so it may not do anything to sneak up and yell Boo! I think it might just scare the living daylights out of him.

I vote Fainter also...he is just wayy too bulky to be Nigerian. And I second not all Fainters faint. We have a mini silkie fainter who flunked fainting school...which is how we got her years ago. Two of her offspring have been MILD fainters, and they are 3/4ths Nigerian!
