Advice taken. He's a very handsome mutt, isn't he??I am by no means a goat expert, but yeah... have to agree with above... I think there may be some Nigie in there, along with maybe a touch of Nubian and some pygmy (but not as much as nigie). Looks like a certified MUTT! but what a handsome fella!
Ummmm you say he's 7 mos and still intact. And he has horns. And you have a (very little) daughter who is gonna want to hug on him... that's not really such a good concoction... His horns are within easy reach of your daughter's eye level. He's intact, which means he could get aggressive, especially as his first fall comes up and he realizes he's a male and wants to mate. (nigies breed year round, but most others are fall predominant breeders) As part of being a male and rut, he's going to be anointing himself with his version of goat perfume... in other words, peeing all over his head/face/neck to attract the ladies. He will then try to share this perfume with you or anyone else who happens to come within his reach, by rubbing himself all over you. It's a perfume you'll most likely not care for, and it's pervasive... hard to get rid of.
So, if you don't plan to breed him (at some point down the road) I would seriously consider getting him cut ASAP.
