I finally bought a goat

[Chaos18]

Here's Spider-Man. Any guesses on age and breed? I bought him at the local (fairly local at least) Livestock Auction. Will be picking him up a friend tomorrow.

I would say Alpine(mix?) it is the Alpine Sundgau pattern. The ears are odd however i mean cute but not to the breed..how old is the goat? Maybe they just havnt stood up enough yet, alpines have airplane ears.

@misfitmorgan Alpines have erect ears.

I would say that he is an Alpine Nubian cross about 3 months old. And very cute.

No clue on age. I think somewhere in the 6-8 week old range. Probably closer to 8 weeks. I was thinking maybe he's Nubian/Alpine mix but wanted the opinion of the experts.

He looks pretty big for 6 weeks and I hope that he isn't that young as that is awfully early to wean the poor little guy. He isn't still on a bottle is he? Were his horns removed?

Are you going to keep him for a breeder?

 

[Southern by choice]

He looks part Kiko. The crimped ear is a commom issue in Kiko's.
Of course it is in many long eared breeds.

His head looks Kiko.

I didn't think of kiko. Good guess southern

He looks like a goat to me... yup, yup... a goat for sure! No doubt about it! Congrats on getting your first!
