We know a retired couple who got some goats for pets / something to keep the husband occupied a couple of years ago.

I met them through TSC, they'd come in and ask questions every now and then.

This year I've been disbudding / banding the kids for them.

Yesterday we went to band 2 boys and while we're there, they're showing off a 3 day old kid, telling me how he was found out in a muddy field and so his name is "Muddy Waters".

I say it's a shame they had another boy (that makes 5 in a row) and that he's too pretty to be a boy. The kid just didn't look bucky to me.

The wife says, "I know...I was so disappointed when I saw he had wattles...all our boys have wattles."

I sorta stood there thinking to myself... "No....Surely they actually checked..."

I nonchalantly go pick the kid up and feel for his nuggets....none there...I flip HER over and...

"Hey guys...ummm....Wattles are NOT the danglies you need to be checking for....this is a DOE. Maybe call her "MUD-ina instead??"

Of course I had to tease them a bit about it, but they took it well and it was a great laugh.

So all you goat farmers remember...wattles do NOT indicate the sex of the kid. ;)

:lol:
:lol: :gig don't I know it! My Maude has wattles... Unless I named her wrong... I think it would be hard for a male to pull off birthing and feeding a little buckling! LOL!

But all MY bucklings seem to have wattles.. Right back between their hind legs. Weirdest thing.

:lol:

Good one, Roll. ;)

LOL this is a family site but I have to tell this.... My son's friend (late 20's) was watching our goats in the barnyard last summer. He was staring at S'more. standing sideways. (She has fairly large teats and it was close to milking time). Wow he said that guy is pretty well endowed (I cleaned that comment up quite a bit!). My son Ben looked at him funny and said "what guy?" (as the buck was on the other side of the barn). That one he said pointing at S'more. Just as he was looking at her she turned her butt to him. He hollered out, Wo he's got 2! Ben said "you dummy that's a girl and those are her boobs!" Should have seen his face. City kid lol. We made fun of him for wuite a bit after that.
