Polled goats are awesome. I have 4 polled does and wish I had a whole bunch more. Really wish I could find a nice polled Alpine buck and then all of my does could have a chance of giving me polled offspring.

Someone asked me the other day why female deer are naturally polled and female goats aren't. Never thought about it, except deer have antlers and not horns, wonder if that is why.

I love your mixed up breeds, personally I think it makes for better goats.

They can be big trouble, but i love horned goats. I have griwn to like polled for certain reasons, but if you put two goats with simolar traits side by side and one is polled and one isnt, ill take the horned one every time.

I mix breeds for lots of reasons, mostly its right for me. I like obers and saanens, but they are very dairy bodied. I like boers because theyre meaty, but they can be boring looking. Obers and saanens, for the most part, lack colour variety and i just love colour and pattern! So i dknt mind mixing breeds amd goats to get the traits i want.
