Very loving and affectionate little pets, but they are a bit mischievous at times and need a strong hand.

Please tell me about your experiences raising goats

My largest does are 155lbs. Not even the same class of goat when you start dealing with them. I have 9 total including 1 nigi and 2 angoras.
 
I think the larger 155 pound breeds woud be a lot more challenging !
The nigi dwarf adult is much smaller than that. I can pick her up and carry her if I need to. I don't think I will ever get a large breed of goat like that. I like the small dwarf types LOL

I don't have any for sale. But I am sure you can find some near you.
Note, it is important who you buy them from. I got mine from a family with small children under 5 yrs old. These particular goats were treated like children just like I am hand raising my baby in the house. When I went to see them a little 4 year old girl was feeding my little goats in fact. If they are raised by their mother and not socialized in a human family I am sure they will be a lot less tame.

So I am very glad I got hand bottle raised goats. They are very imprinted on humans. The good thing is they did raise a lot of goats so they are still used to goats too.

PS Just went out to feed. The Pekin ducks made a break for it. But the Nigis stayed with me. I had to fight just now with my ducks to get them back in because they wanted out today.
Ugh!

I had one of those huge 155 lb goats, he was the sweetest most lovable guy.
He came in with a ram (ram couldnt walk , was 250 lbs, had been held up by a poop pile to his belly but a different story), both severely neglected.
Moose had lice so bad he was near naked. but when he was all cleaned up he was a big moosh, not bad concidering.

My first meeting with Mosse was a show that had everyone laughing their butts off.
My Husband and BIL brought the 2 in penned them up, hubby came to get me to inspect and evaluate, I walked around the side of the pen and came face to face( litterally) with this goat, I about near fainted ! at that point in my life I had no clue goats came that big.
I looked at my BIL and said " I thought you were bringing me a goat not a derned Moose ! both hubby and BIL were about falling all over themselves laughing..

Still to this day I dont know what type of moose goat it was but he was so gentle.

Cassi had a dwarf that was raised in the house who was very puppyish, followed her everywhere, too bad nosy people had to make it so we had to rehome her.
