Goats teeth?

[Dipsy Doodle Doo]

Are goats supposed to have 'upper teeth'?
I have 2 7 mo old boys that have lower teeth, but no uppers --- just smooth gums.

Thanks,
Lisa

Don't worry! Goats only have lower teeth.

Yup they are normal...as normal as goats can be

They only have top teeth in the back...to grind their food. Cows don't have top front teeth either...

Thanks! I looked around on the net and asked the girl I got them from (she hadn't noticed her goats have no uppers. ).
It's a bit odd, I've raised lots of goats and calves and NEVER noticed it before, but I guess I never paid much attention to their top teeth (or lack of teeth).
Thanks for clearing it up

Llamas don't either.

Neither does my 80 yr old mom at night...

Won't tell her she has that in common with a goat though - I don't think she'd appreciate it to much.
