Ooh, he’s got a pretty pattern! What a cutie.

I still just have the two. Obi (-wan Kenobi) brown/white Nigerian Dwarf and (Darth) Maul black/white myotonic goat. Here’s some updated pics (they’re getting close to 2 years old now). Also Obi is terrified of Kylo (dog) and Maul sticks up for him. The puppy (he’s only 7.5 months ) Is still learning “gentle/no bite” when it comes to Obi. Obi has been quite the escape artist lately (today I found him on our glass patio table-he keeps squeezing under the fence from the top lot down to our backyard area).

ETA: I’m keeping an eye on Obi’s (scur? Horn? Whatever you want to call it-when we got him he was disbudded, but apparently that didn’t last)

I love their names, and I also love Maul’s beard! They are both adorable.

Me, neither. Here's what I got. My goatie girls I bought for clearing brush, so they are all mutts. They are collectively known as "The Leftovers" because they were the ones no one wanted. I bought them on a Sunday. Had I not, they would have been sold for butcher the next day.

Name: Cricket (another one named Cricket - lol!)
Age: Just turned 1 year
Breed: Nubian/Nigerian cross
Other: Herd Queen in the making!

Name: Nudge (aka Nudgie or Nudge-Nudge)
Age: Also just turned 1 year
Breed: Nigerian mix (no clue what all is there)
Other: Loves scritches, hugs, and BEGS to be brushed

Name: Sunshine
Age: 1 year, like the others
Breed: Nubian/Boer cross
Other: HUGE and afraid of everything, except if whatever is scaring her somehow involves cookies (horse treats)

Not pictured: Weezy
Age: 1 year
Breed: Mutt
Other: She is the "runt" and skittish, so I don't have any good pics of her; I also think she has rather poor eyesight

That last pic is PRECIOUS.

Thanks! That pic captures her personality perfectly, imo.

I got goats because of our huuuuge blackberry problem. And for wildfire defense clearing. And I FELL IN LOVE. They are my babies! I'm still learning about what makes them tick. We are leash training now, so I can take them to the neighbor's property and help them deal with blackberries.

Goats are the G.O.A.T.
