My Beetal baby (Buck)

[Queen Mum]

I think we ALL want one of those goats. He is very handsome. I want two of them. A buckling and a doeling. I love the colors, and I love the way they look.

@Queen Mum
I'll take the measurements sometime later today.

@DKRabbitry
lol, I myself am hearing 'Sriohi' for the first time.
And don't worry, that tiny thing will grow

@All
thanks for uplifting my goat, feel like a proud owner owner now........hahahahaha

I just saw a few pics of Sriohi goats on google, they are pretty big and muscular too..... actually they're from India, I'm from Pakistan so never heard of that breed locally. Beetal is found in the Punjab provinces of Pakistan and India.
Also in India there is a Jamnapari breed, very similar to beetal, a little big, but beetals are generally heavier and are more resistant to diverse climatic conditions and pests.

@ Sunfisher
Thanks
@ Queen Mum
He is 26 inches from his shoulder to hind legs. Height is 25 inches.
Couldn't take the other measurement because I was using a steel ruler and the small guy got scared.

Is wheat hay mixed with crushed wheat, extracted cotton seeds and pea and pulse peels ample for it? Just asking this if sometime I can't arrange greenery for it, will this work? Though I feed it different tree branches and occasionally grass.

 

[Queen Mum]

Sounds like you are doing fine. As long as he has hay all the time to chew on whenever he wants. He needs protein. The peas and pulse should help with that. He will also like pumpkins and squash, orange peels once in a while and banana peels (now and then.) If your friends eat banana or oranges, ask them to give you the peels. You can dry them and feed them as snacks for your goat. They have lots of vitamins. And if your mother is making food, you can give your goat the peelings from her vegetables.

To measure his chest, take a piece of string and put it around his chest. Then measure the string.

Thanks..... and I do occasionally feed him fruit/vegetable peels. As well as a very little quantity of wheat one day, corn the next, and vice versa.
