Who has goats!? Feel free to share them!! Pictures, stories, etc. and any breed welcome! Maybe state your favorite breed(s) too if you want!

I used to have Nubians...and I used to like them...but they were high maintenance in this climate and constantly escaped and ruined things. I'm sticking to Katahdin sheep from now on.

Travis, Trent, Trevor, James Labrie, and Trot (and Muffin the sheep in the back)

That makes sense! I’ve heard Nubians are really loud too? Yours were gorgeous though! Love the names!

For me personally I love Nigerian Dwarfs, Boers, Alpines, Toggenburg, and Oberhasli.

So I guess most of the dairy breeds and then Boers hahah Saanen goats seem nice too but don’t know as much about them c

My favorites are Nigerians, Pygmies, and Lamanchas.

I don't know if they're louder than other similar breeds, but, yeah, they sound kind of like higher-pitched cows.

Wow. I really like the Alpine and the Nigerian dwarfs. Do you have any goats yourself? So far we have 4 alpine, 1 experimental milker, and 1 oberhasli.

Yes they are super loud! We had a nubian 2 years ago and she was LOUD..... lol we sadly ended up selling our herd because we moved. Then i found the alpine and fell in love with the breed.

I heard Lamanchas are good milkers but........ I am not a big fan of their ears lol!
