Where do you live that you don't see many boer goats with horns, around here all of them have horns. We have driven as far west as Indiana and the herds we went to all had horned goats, although I know the wethers often need to be dehorned for 4H projects.marliah said:awwwwcongratulations. Momma is pretty too, I like horned goats, dont see many boars with horns though.
Congratulations, he looks like a nice thick little buck. I am assuming buck, he just looks like it. for sure looks like he has a lot of boer in him.

Wow congrats on the little one. Your son must be thrilled as I am sure you all are. Well I hope you all have a blast with the little one.

I was wondering the same thing. Everyone here keeps the horns on their goats. There's a Boer farm around teh corner from me and there's a pasture with probably 100 horned Boers. I think goats look funny without their horns.20kidsonhill said:Where do you live that you don't see many boer goats with horns, around here all of them have horns.

Chillin' with the herd
Our livestock guardian dog (LGD) was attacked today.
It was a premeditated attack by a juvenile delinquent!
Thankfully, we caught the offender!
Here is a photo of the attacker. Note, the attacker was a bit younger in this photo.
I watched in shock as she trampled our LGD! Then she stood on top of her and stomped even more. Our LGD just layed there looking at me as if to say "Help!"
By the time I could get the camera it was all over. So no photos of the attack.
ETA: The LGD survived the attack.

HAHAHA I love the climbing age when that is all they do. My poor doe Jasmine had triplets and all 3 of them would play queen of the mom (I mean mountain). Well I hope you are all enjoying that bundle of joy.

She's a cutie! Her mom looks pretty skinny for a Boer, tho, probably not for long now that she lives with you!

Here are Jasmine and Annabel. We separated them yesterday. They screamed for about 30 minutes, calmed down and seem fine now. Just a fence separates them. Annabel was lamost weaned anyway.
How many days until Jasmine dries up?
Been too many years since we had goats and I just do not remember.
