Oh I can tell you are going to be bad for me lol. My hubby asked is this going to be like my chicken project where I said I only want 4 so we can have enough eggs for ourselves and I ended up with 12. Plus I am wanting one more breed of chickens so am putting 6 eggs in the incubator next week.ksalvagno said:Get the Nigerian too! Three are more fun than two!

I think you should get them both at the same time too... and then get the Nigi later.
If you chose to band the buckling... it's really, really easy to do and the tool itself is less than $20.
Do remember... if you get both the buckling and the doeling he CAN breed her at 8 weeks of age and she CAN get bred! If he's not castrated by then you will have to separate them until he is.

We got into goats last fall and looked at some triplets, two doelings and a wether. We offered to buy the two doelings and the owners made a deal that we had to buy the wether as well, as part of getting the doelings.
We are so happy now we did and understand why they wanted all three to go together. They are a bonded group and love each other dearly. We would not want to have the two girls without their stout and sturdy braver brother. He helps them be normal and happy goats.

You guys have talked me into it. I am getting them both. I called and left a message with the owner. I do eventually want a nigerian dwarf doeling as well but now I won't have to rush around to find one to keep this one company.

I think you will love your goats. We thought we would like them but never imagined that we would ADORE them. And not just the owning goats.....we like these PARTICULAR goats. They have distinct personalities and reactions to things and are so funny to watch....they make me have belly laughs all the time.
Make sure you erect some sort of play structure for your babies, you will have endless hours of fun watching them scramble and play on anything elevated. I figure it is good practice for them learning to jump onto a milking stanchion eventually! But it makes watching the goats out the window funnier than most comedy TV shows by a longshot.

Omg I didn't get them I had told her I would be there Monday at 1pm to pick them up and she agreed. I called when we were an hour away from her house and no answer,,left messages and still no call back, stayed around her town for about 3 hours waiting on a callback which never came. Finally about 4pm we had to drive home since it was 3 hours away. I still haven't heard from her.
