OMG!! He is so cute! I just love babies. Does he have blue eyes?

I had a baby that was born with blue eyes, but they're not blue anymore.

Peachick, what breed are those goats?

Peachick, what breed are those goats?

Mini Silky Fainters according to the website. But what I want to know is if the fiber gets long enough and if it is good for handspinning or if it's too slippery and needs to be blended with something else like wool?

LOL
His real name is Buckley..... But hes 9 months old now and has turned into a real "buck"!
and with that face of his I started calling him Buckface.
They are all mini silky fainters. Buckley is also regitered as a Myotonic goat. They are all young and wont have their long coat till next year. Elvira however was born extra hairy and has a lovely coat already at 5 months old.

They are a meat goat, I dont know about spinning. Im sure you would need to blend it with something as its quite silky. However if you ever need black hair I can send you my Belgian Sheepdog hair. I used to give it to my herding instructor who spins.
