Goat Thread!

[Egg Snatcher]

His mama was a boer goat and father was a Nubian. So he’s got a lot of Nubian features , especially the personality but size wise I think comes from the boer in him.
Couple years ago I had a vet come for one of the other goats and even she said wow he’s huge. She said he’s not overweight or anything he’s just a big (and healthy) guy. So I’m glad he’s a sweetheart. Even though certain times a year he gets a slight case of the stupids but it’s never bad He’s a wether

That’s kind of what I was guessing.

Oh, She wasn't born here. I bought her, and have only just been able to finally get her transported to me.
I've always wanted a Boer but me and my family don't do full sized goats anymore. I didn't realise they came in mini size till I saw her, no way I was passing her up!

Boer goats get pretty large. Lucy was stout but solid (like most boers) Probably 160-165. What’s a mini boer? That sounds great.

Tomorrow I get to change my vote to yes! We are bringing our first two goats home tomorrow

Probably a Nigerian Dwarf or a Pygmy goat crossed with a Boer. I know NDs are used a lot to make a lot of mini versions of various breeds. Mini Nubian, mini Lamancha, etc.
