I'm new here and just wanted to introduce our small goat "herd". We originally got Maggie to keep one of the horses company, then 3 days later bought Ginger from the same farm to keep Maggie happy. Then we were just hooked on goats and have decided to buy more does and start breeding. Maggie is 100% Boer, but not registered. Ginger is Boer/Alpine. We just got Homer last weekend, he is 87.5% boer and 7months. I dont mind if you give Homer a little critique either, I'm always happy to learn more everyday.
What a pretty pair Ginger and Maggie are! You did well with getting Maggie a buddy, they look quite content. Homer looks like he's gonna be a big boy! Nice and thick!
from the pic of homer, he looks good...can get front and rear shots? i would like to see how wide he is.
I will have to get some more pics of Homer tomorrow, that was the only one he's actually hold still for! Hes a pretty stocky little guy.
Heres a few more of Homer. They aren't that great, he was more interested in following me around to try to get a some scratching from me. Please excuse his tail, we think he got stepped on by one of the horses the other day. The skin was pulled off right off the bone and he had to have about inch and a half cut off, poor boy.
very nice little herd! Congrats! Homer is a thick lil guy! It will be cool to see kids from them! :thumb:
Thank you everyone. I was worried about asking opinions on Homer, I thought I might get told he was junk and not to breed him! milkmaid- I couldn't bring myself to eat them either, especially seeing I am a vegetarian :wink: We'd like to keep any nice doelings we get and market the bucklings/wethers, I'll try not to get too attached!
Your welcome.... :thumbup: No there is nothing wrong with Homer....he is a nice boy.... :thumb: :greengrin:
Good luck trying not to get attached! I dont think I could even market them! Tells you I'm not ment to raise meat goats!
