what breed of goat

What breed is this goat I never seen a long hair goat before

I have no experience but my neighbor has a few Pygmy goats that look similar to that but they also have a bit of Fainter going back quite a bit.

looks like a pygmy to me. we had a pygmy billy that had long hair. he was just a mix breed though.

Pygmy bucks get quite hairy! My guess is that he is at least high percentage pygmy. Attaching a pic of one of my guys...

Our Nigerian Dwarf buck has longer hair around his neck, maybe not as full as your guy.

Definitely looks like a Nigie. How long have you had him? Maybe he was around some she-males in heat before you got him and his hormones are still in high gear. Of course, pygmies can breed year-round(can nigies?), so not the same as rut for other breeds. The advantage is year-round sustainable milk volume, the disadvantage, potential year-round stink! Still, if he has been puttin' on the scent for some lady-loves, he is gonna reek.

BTW, his horns look awful, like maybe someone tried to disbud him and botched the job completely! Are you thinking about trimming them, when you 2 get used to each other? I'm sure it would be great for his self-esteem. He really is a lovely boy. I hope you 2 get chummy soon! Such a shame not to be able to enjoy a lovely goatie.

Sorry, I running on 1 1/2 hrs sleep in the past 40 hrs. I meant to say he look like a pygmy. I'm sorry to have to correct myself so much. I think I'll go sleep now and spare you guys any more of my looniness!
