    pygmy goat ??? PICTURE ADDED

    It is hard to guess a breed based just on coat. Heck, I have had purebred LaManchas with coats that get very long in the winter time. Some lines on goats within a breed can be hairier than other lines within the same breed. I have had other lines of LaManchas that stay slick. The slick goats...
