Falkor - Newest member of the Livinwright Farm herd

[SDGsoap&dairy]

I'm not sure that I am sold on the angora either. I'm pretty sure he's not 100% nd, but, even with the hair, I don't think so. I had a Pygmy cross buck (no angora) who had hair just like this buck.
Anyway, you'll have to post pictures once you finish cleaning him up! I'm curious to see what his body looks like under all that fur!

He's cute and looks very much like a pygmy to me. Congrats on the new addition.

Falkor after a shave(down to 3/4 inch from 3-4 inches) and a thorough wash! he is quite wooly!

I DID state that I could be wrong about the angora and that the wooliness could just be from Pygmy influence.

And I am now out of uploading space, so any future pics will be posted to our Facebook page! When I load new pics to our fb page I will post a topic to the "Everything Else Goats" forum.

My pygmy / ND cross is built like a pygmy, is very "wooly" and gets his coloration from the ND side (and I am 100% on his heritage).

I would venture a guess that is what your boy is.

Well then, it seems like the concencus is that he is Nigi-Pyg... COOL! We will go with that then! It doesn't make much of a difference... as long as he won't throw Toggie sized kids we're happy!!

Do you know how old he is?

I'm guessing 1.5-3 years based on horns...

He definitely shouldn't throw gigantor sized kids.



Oh and I'm just saying...I hate the term nigi-pyg...I know a lot of you use it but it makes me literally think of PIGS and I don't like it that's my opinion and you don't have to alter your terminology for me I just wanted to say it.

When I bought him, the person said he was roughly 2 years old...Good guess elevan! He sure is handsome when he is all clipped up!

Going by his teeth he is between 2 and 3 years old... has 2 pair of permanant teeth.

I wouldn't think he would throw huge kids with his size, I was just being silly.. as evidenced by the little line of laughing smileys

I have been using the term you don't like for roughly a year, it was the only way I had ever heard the cross referenced... it wasn't until a couple weeks ago that I had seen someone on here refer to the cross as Pygerian.

He was a dream to clip, even if it did take a while due to his dense winter undercoat.
Oh, and Guess What?

Our barn & stalls are still whole!!! he was antsy to get outside this morning and gently ramming the door, but not hard enough to do any damage.

Glad to hear!! I'm sure he will do better there. We are set up for horses and well behaved goats, not destructive goats! I think he had little man syndrome with my other buck - maybe that's why he was constantly harassing him? Either way, my other buck is forever grateful that you took him

I refer to my crosses as Pygerian although at times (for the benefit of not having to be told they're just mutts) I will just refer to them as pygmy / nd crosses. Although Pygoras were considered mutts once...I'm just saying

No hard feelings, like I said makes me think of PIGS when I hear the term you used And my goaties are too sweet to be related to pigs
