They are Med/Large goats but they still look so scary and crazy that I would want NOTHING to do with them. Even their bags are strange looking.

Overall, really weird goats, scary head, scary nose, frightening ears. I don't like 'em.

Did you all see those udders in the brochure?! Wow! Those goats look much nicer than others of the breed.

To me they look like they ran into a brick wall and smuched their faces...

That is the most hideous goat I have ever seen. Besides just being plain FUGLY, the ear cropping is just wrong. Why would they do that? It is sad and upsetting.

Those udders in the brochure look painful! They are huge! The goats in the brochure look totally different than what is pictures here. The ones in the brochure are actually nice looking, the ones in the original post are flat out scary looking!

To each their own I guess.

Those udders DO look a little uncomfortable though!

I like the LOOOOONG ears in the brochures. (The brochure dealt with Cyrpriot Shami goats...probably different than the Saudi...different 'desireable' traits.) Definitely not used to seeing anything like that around here!

I think of it like the la manchas...some people LOVE their ears...me personally, don't care for them.
