Oh, polled goats can get scurs. It is often referred to as “poll scurs”. They can still have some growth that breaks through the skin. So far it seems to happen only in the bucks, though the does still can get the “giraffe nubs”. We often times end up burning our polled bucks to prevent this...

Yes, you could. I had a blue eyed buck and used him over my one doe (polled) twice. One time resulted in twins, the next year triplets. The twins were both brown eyed and horned (disbudded) The triplets- 2 were polled, 1 horned. 1 Brown eyed, 2 blue eyed. I personally could care less about...

Awww, Taffy's white doe looks like her Granddam! Love the red/gold. Always my favorite!

I have one that I might bring up Sunday. I'll have to keep an eye on her. How are your babies doing? Thanks everyone for the kind words! We are pretty excited about these girls!

Which one? :)

I hope you are getting some much needed rest! Here’s a screenshot. I circled the post new thread button :)

We actually know RJ's breeder, but because she signed over the papers she wouldn't be able to do anything with him :( @Devonviolet do you have any local dairies? Quite a few breeders here supply dairies with good quality does, that might not cut it in the ring but are still nice animals. Just...

It is normal for kids to nibble on hay and pellets. The kid looks like it could be a little thin in the first two pics, but it is hard to tell. I’d offer them a bottle. If they take it then they definitely aren’t getting enough to eat. But at five days old, they are obviously eating enough to...

Thank you! I am so glad to hear that! :celebrate:weee:yesss: We've had some weird ones over the years. I'm trying to remember if I ever posted the pics of the kid who looked a spider? It was a few years ago. It was so weird but in the end we got it corrected and kid turned out beautiful.

This is just a cell phone pic, they were still in their stall because it was raining. It had actually just stopped and the sun was coming out. Right after bottles. These are Lucy's two girls, Bitsy in the front. Their brother is standing behind them like a dork LOL. Bitsy is more "normal"...

They are doing really good! They are eating almost the same amount as Lucy's triplets (first kids of this year). They are really something. I decided to sell one, I listed her & she was sold within the hour! I've already met the folks in person and I think she will do just fine. She'll be going...

They are looking great!

Is this her? I remember Maurine pointing out a doe at the spring show that looked a lot like this doe, and she was sired by Fortunate Son.

He loooooovvvveeessss them I guess!

Congrats on the kids! So glad these kiddings were better for you! I just love it when they kid quick, gotta love Nigerians. Wasn't Gwen bred to Fortunate Son last year? You repeated the breeding or did he get out? Hope all goes well with Cookie!

Gah, you got me! :gig Auto correct strikes again!

Congratulations on the babies! To answer your question- Ruth is about to be 6 (maybe 7, need to check papers) @Daxigait pretty girl! :) I just saw your kissing thread, you have some beautiful goats and looks like some pretty cool genetics too!
