Need DOE

[TimberLine Homestead]

HI,
I am posting because we have a buck and are now looking into getting a good quality DOE. We have looked at DoubleToyMiniFarm.com and are interested in there doeling but would like a older one. Can anyone HELP? We are looking into goat in Missouri not to far away. Maybe close to the areas of Springfield, Nixa, and Ozark. Thanks for the help in advanced. I'll Tag a few people. I hope maybe @shawluvsbirds can help?

I also have another question. My goat Timber which I got at the end of December he was 8 weeks old then. Now in march he will be close to 6 months old and does not have horns!!!!!! We contacted the people we bought him from but, they have not responded. When we bought him they said they had not dehorned him but, I don't know anymore do you think he could possibly be dehored.
I am not upset about him not having horn just excited! Because he was suppose to have horns and I would trim them now I don't have to.
Looking for ANSWERS?

What kind of goat is he? He should have started growing horns within weeks of being born.

He is a Nigerian Dwarf Goat and do you think he could possibly be polled ?

What are you wanting goats for? Milk? Meat? Pets? To sell?

Well the doe will be for miking. If we could buy a pregnant doe I would keep the females and sell the bucks she has they will have a huge area to roam.

That’s a possibility if he didn’t have horns by 8 weeks. All my goats had horns by then, boys and girls. I have Nigerian Dwarfs.

Nigerian Dwarfs do have the sweetest milk or high in butterfat BUT their teets are so tiny that you need a milker. I personally feel ND for milk is not worth the time it takes to get the milk.

Unless they have large bags.

The next breed of goat that is similar, I’ve read, is Nubian goat milk.

Oh ok! DO you think he is polled? The previous owner never said weather of not they dehorned him

If they didn’t dehorn him then yes he’s polled I would say. None of my Nigerian Dwarf goats are polled.
