  1. Goat Conformation
    Hey everyone! With all that’s been going on in my life recently, I’ve really been trying to focus on things that make me happy. Goats, of course, are one of them! Conformation and health mean a lot to me in the goat world, and so while I am trying to learn the in’s and out’s I thought, “It would...
  2. Goat Conformation
    I have to pick one of these two percentage does to show this summer. Unfortunately I have no good pictures of the one. They've both been weaned a couple weeks
  3. Goat Conformation
    I am just getting into Boer’s. What is everyone’s opinion on this Dec born bucks conformation?
  4. Goat Conformation
    I will be bringing home these two next week. Originally we were going to get wethers but I found these does and realized they were a much better fit for us (my mom loves mini nubians LOL). We are very excited and I am looking for opinions on them just out of curiosity. They are unregistered and...
  5. Goat Conformation
    So I’m curious what you all think, and the rules surrounding this. My home bred doe gave birth to twin doelings this year. Both of them were born with extra teats unfortunately. As I’ve watched them grow and mature though, I’m just stunned by their conformation. Perfectly uphill, long and level...
  6. Goat Conformation
    Hello everyone! My newest purchase (Osiris, also known as Ozzy) has made it home, and I am so excited to see him develop. I would absolutely love everyone’s opinion on him so far, as I’m still training my eye. Comparing him to the buckling born on my farm I can definitely see some body type...
  7. Goat Conformation
    How do you set up a goat properly for conformation pics? I’ve never done it before. Thanks!
  8. Goat Conformation
    So I’m currently looking at getting myself a proper quality herd sire from some impeccable imported genetics. Now while it’s not set in stone as this breeder doesn’t have a wait list, they will just post when available from my knowledge, I would like to really decide which pairing I should try...
  9. Beginners Goat Raising
    I have this little 2yo ND doe that I would love to breed but I’m worried that she is too small. To me she looks a little narrow and steep, but her dam never had problems kidding and always had twins. I’ve had two vets that specialize in goats to look at her and one said no and the other said she...
  10. Goat Conformation
    So I finally got outside to take some photos of the doeling Luna gave birth to in March. She’s growing wonderfully and I hope for her to kid next year! Before that though, I want to know what I should be looking at improving. I have two bucks (one being her sire) so I only have one option to...
  11. Goat Conformation
    I’m so excited to share this. In case some of you dont know, my first ND doe was a purchase I should’ve done more research on. We got a doe who at the time was a first freshener, didnt do any digging on her lineage. The more I learnt, the more disappointed I was. She barely gave anything during...
  12. Goat Conformation
    Just curious about everyone’s thoughts on this doeling. Is it too early to tell conformation on a three week old? Am I getting too ahead of myself? 😂 so far she’s looking nice to me, hard to get a picture of her rear since she doesn’t want to stand still. And here I thought a baby would be...
  13. Goat Conformation
    Hello! I recently purchased this 8 month old Nubian buck; ADGA registered, sweet as can be. At the farm I purchased him from I gave him a good look and feel (or so I thought…) though the day after I brought him home both my husband and I noticed him walking funny in his front legs…. He places...
  14. Goat Conformation
    Alright, here are my two kinder bucks, Phantom and Cullen. I had my sister who's never taken a goat conformation picture before behind the camera, and my bucks told me that I was crazy if I thought I was going to adjust their legs, so hopefully these pictures are good enough.😅 I'm currently...
  15. Goat Conformation
    So I’ve been back and forth with this breeder for a while now and she just bred a pairing we’ve both agreed on and have been waiting on for a long time. Im hoping for a doeling from these two. What is everyone’s thoughts on the pairing? Obviously not perfect, but I’m hoping to get better milk...
  16. Beginners Goat Raising
    Well we are getting ready for our county fair and my daughter will be showing Lulu in the miniature dairy yearling division and I would like to know what everyone thinks. Last year my daughter showed Lulu's half brother and he received Reserve Grand Champion...fingers crossed that she does well.
  17. Goat Conformation
    Now I’ll admit, I’ve never used clippers on a goat before. I’ve never even thought of shaving a goat until I saw how cute they looked- and here we are. Luna got her first shave today, and while it’s not perfect, I think she looks adorable. Thought I’d share! I am once again confused about...
  18. Goat Frenzy
    Just got myself a buckling to eventually sire my herd, and he’s the cutest thing. Unfortunately I am clueless when it comes to what my herd needs to improve on since I’m only just starting out, but he comes from a good herd, good lines and his dam has a decent udder for a FF. My question is, is...
  19. Goat Frenzy
    I thought I’d try out a little idea for a thread that I had. If it flops, oh well! But I don’t see the problem in trying. I’m a total newbie when it comes to conformation. I’m only barely learning the ins and outs, the terms for everything, what is wanted and what isnt... so I thought this...
  20. Goat Frenzy
    It’s a beautiful day out where I am and I thought I’d snatch the opportunity to take some pictures. I’m slowly learning about conformation and how that all works, and hope to improve my herd down the road with a buck. So... I thought I’d ask (while showing off my kids) to see if you all had...
