Yearling goat with horns

[cassie]

I dont like horns on goats just the place where i bought her from didn't have them removed so she is an exception to my policy. I'm still thinking on the pros and cons of having small goats with her around since i don't want any problems between the Nigerians and her. Especially because of the size difference.

My guess, and it is just a guess, is I don't think you will have a problem. Nubians tend to not be aggressive. Alpines are another story. They seem to get a fiendish joy out of butting their herdmates and they will go out of their way to do so. Nubians, not so much.

Yes Nubians seem to be much less aggressive. I do love Nubians because they’re just plain silly and so talkative. I can’t say you won’t have a problem but I agree I don’t think you will

So we went through with our plan and bought 4 little Nigerian Dwarf yearlings and after about 3-4 "play dates" both the Nubian and the La Mancha have accepted them into the herd. The nubian actually likes to "protect" them from the other herd members and will always let them boss her around lol. Thank you for anyone who has replied!

It’s so glad to hear everything is going well and everyone’s getting along. It’s much easier to enjoy your goats when everyone except each other. You should post a picture!
