Barbado Goat?

[kuntrygirl]

Is there such a thing as a Barbado Goat? I read an ad on Craigslist about a Barbado Goat. I am not familiar with the breed. Can anyone post a link to direct me to this particular breed of goat.

Thanks

I noticed that they put goat in quotes. I'm wondering if they don't realize they have a sheep. Sounds like someone with zero knowledge on what they have.

I think they're mixed up. I looked up barbados, and found the sheep, and it does look more like a goat then a sheep.

Thank you for confirming that I am NOT crazy. When I saw that, I was like, . I knew that I wasn't crazy. I have been searching online for the last 30 minutes for a Barbado Goat and I still have not found a picture or a definition. I have 7 Barbado sheep and a goat and I knew that sound a little strange. And to think that someone may buy it thinking that they have an exotic breed.

By the way...... I LOVE the cuties in your avatar. I have been wanting some for years but I can't find any in my state. You are so lucky to have those.

ETA: I just visited your website. OMG!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! Your alpacas are absolutely MAGNIFICENT!!!!

I sure feel sorry for anyone who thinks they are getting a goat! Just think if they buy it and try to breed it.

Thanks. The crias really are just adorable. I didn't find many but here are a few alpaca breeders in Louisiana. I don't know if they are close to you.

Oh Thank you for the information. Your babies in the avatar are so adorable. What a joy to wake up each morning to see them. Awwwwwwww. Where did you get them from?

Perhaps you could send them an email and let them know that they do not have a goat?

Or maybe they do have a goat, but have the breed wrong.

I did send her an email and she sent me a "smart" response telling me

"same difference".

I told her that a sheep and goat are NOT the same.
