I have a wether who recently turned one. He has started to grow tufts of hair on his chin. His dad had a full beard. My question is will my wether grow a full beard or not? At what age do they grow a beard?

Thanks!

Wethers don't usually grow a beard like a buck. He will most likely grow a small beard kind of like some does do. I have a Feb. buck kid that has started a beard, so if they are going to grow a big one they start pretty young.

My 2 1/2 year old Nubian buck has just started growing a beard this spring. My 1 1/2 year old Lamancha seemed to have been born with one!

I agree, wethers don't usually grow a beard like the bucks do.

I have a wether and he was only about 9 months old when he started growing his beard! Its a pretty good size by now!!
