BARBADO GOAT? WHAT did I just read???? Is there such a thing?!

[patandchickens]

Since the ad has "goat" in quotation marks, I suspect it is just a Barbados sheep that they are preferring to CALL a goat due to some personal thing about 'it's not a sheep if it doesn't have wool'.

All my amish neighbors swear my soay sheep are goats, what does that yankee girl know!!!

I have never heard of a Barbado goat. Alot of people think Barbado sheep are goats because they have hair.

Are you sure they are Barbado? the lamb in the first pic looks like a Desert Painted. The others look more like Kathadin or mixs to me. I like the ewe with the white neck and the spotted face.
