According to my wife they are pregnant for approximately 927 days.... Or at least that's how it seems to her when she's waiting on them to give birth... LOL!
We've had to add menu items that our goats, or at least Eddie, will eat. The paper strip at the top of feed bags and the styrofoam padding on a bicycle. The other goats really don't try to eat everything that sits still. But as soon as I park the tractor, the gator, the truck or the kids get...
Our mini donkeys and mini horses do fine with our goats.... Except the new babies that are "strangers" to them so the donkeys attack them. They are there as livestock guardians but we won't be able to put the babies out until they are bigger.
I suppose it could have been a dominance thing. Just with him being so much bigger than them and the fact they've never displayed this behavior before bewildered me. Usually their dominance displays is pushing each other around. This looked exactly the way they stay after a doe in heat. Not...

As they feel they need it?! LOL!!! I wish my goats were that smart. They lick wet paint because they THINK they need whatever they can get in their mouths. Left as free choice they would eat a whole box of baking soda...lol.
Start with better pictures. I'm not a goat expert so I can't always identify breeds. If no one here can help, go to The Goat Spot forum. Lots of help and experts in all things goats over there.
Just so it's known, they are only being sold so we can keep 3 of their doelings without having to worry about them breeding their daughters. They are very friendly and love attention. The smaller one [buckskin] has blue eye genes and both of his daughters are blue eyed. Both could have been...
