In the Brooder
Hi guys, I just stumbled upon this post and wondering if anyone here can help me identify the breed of goats that I have. I purchased them from an auction 3 days ago and have no information on them at all unfortunately.. I'm fine with them being mixed breed if they are, Just curious if anyone knows their goats! I have tried searching the net but can't really come up with anything similar.
The brown one is a male, he has buds but no horns forming yet...He has a black stripe down his back and his legs and various other black marks, he is what I would consider a buckskin in color. I have no idea how old he is, if he is a baby or if someone de-horned him ( I don't see any indications of de-horning), He has a small face and head with floppy ears... He is already a bit taller than the female.
The black and white one is a pregnant female, She is very small..About 2 foot tall..( my son thinks she is a baby cow and she sure looks like one lol) I'm assuming she is a pygmy or mixed with one. She has no horns at all. She has blue eyes. Her ears don't stand up erect, But sort of lay out on the sides of her head outwards.
Posting a lot of pics from different angles for possible identification. Like I said, Its nothing major, we love them already. Just curious as to the breed or breeds that they may be. And if the male is a baby or if he will be a big boy. He is already sexually mature and trying to mount the doe if that helps any at all to age. He is very nervous so I am not able to check his teeth in case anyone asks.
Thanks

... I checked all the pics that I have taken and you can't see really see them, you can see the bumps in the pics...But When he lets me touch his head (while I'm holding grain) I can feel two perfect rounded knobs there as if they are starting to form..Nothing pointy. I think he is very young. I dont think he has been socialized much because he seems really afraid of people. I had a pygmy buckling that I bottle fed from a week old and it feels like his did when he was a few weeks old, He did grow horns.
