Kinder Goat and Pygmy Owners.

[crazy4cochins]

hello, I have already posted pictures of my doe I inheriated and most of us thought mini-oberhasli.
Anyways I noticed her tail curls up and is naked on the underside.
so I am now thinking she may be a kinder goat I want to know if anyone has any here????
Question is do most kinder goats have the curling tail
2.Are pygmys the only kind of goat with tails like this?
Thanks

All goats have tails like that just not all of them always carry them like that - it's a mood thing sometimes.

Ok, because I didn't notice it before ,but she was in with some rowdy boys so getting close to really look her over was a little hard.
And they are all bare under the tail? I am trying to get her copper deficentcy back to normal.
Thanks for your help

I had angora goats as a kid, and they were naked on the underside of the tail, I think all goats are bare under there

Yes, they are bald under there! Copper deficiency ONLY leads to baldness on the very tip of the tail...the underside is supposed to be naked.

Good to know. Thanks
She still has it up and curled but she's only been here a few days.
Maybe when she gets more comfortable she'll let it down.
