What kind of goat are these?

[CayugaJana]

We were given these goats today for free. Their owner was going to put them down because they were jumping out of their pen. They are 1 yr old twin males named Jack and Mark is all I know.

What size are they? And are they wethered? xx

They look like pygmies to me. They are spectacular jumpers, able to go over a 6 foot wall with ease when not happy about their pen or pasture.

I don’t know what weathered means. I know practically nothing about goats. But am a fast learner. They are twin males that are not neutered.

My husband says their shoulders are about 30 in tall.

You are gonna want to get them whethered, castrated, unless you want them for breeding. They will become stinky, ornery, and not pleasant to be around. Whethers are castrated males, I have 12 of them.

Than they are definitely pygmies. I don't see purebred much anymore, most are crossed with Nigerians to make different colors around here.

They look like an Oberhasli but bigger. Ok so they are like most males that are not castrated...... turds.......

Wait until they start peeing on their beards, drinking each other's pee, and start speaking like demons, (that part I enjoy) tongue waggling, and spit snorting. The buck smell never leaves.

I still have a collar and chain from a particular nasty buck that we chained up because he would attack me. The chain and collar still stink 15 years later without ever touching another goat.
