This guy has a bit of a long tail, and he is stealing goat grain during milking. Still a handsome cockerel.

Handsome for sure . Love to see photos of him standing .
Your silver black (Birchen) line exhibit a full body pattern . No black shoulders . Hard work to achieve that . Bravo

They are nubian and nigerian dwarves. Currently there are 15 goats, 4 does and 11 kids. Yes, this spring was super busy, as we had a set of quads, a set of triplets, and 2 pairs of twins. They are dairy goats, a good fit for our pastures. One full nigerian doe with her doeling twins, the rest all varying degrees of nubian/ nigerian crosses. Good creamy milk.
