Kinder.

Not cobby enough for a Pygmy and not tucked up enough for a Nigerian...

After watching the video? Kinder. Very cool rescue.

The SOUND of her feet was very sad...

I tell you, that is hard to imagin that someone had a goat that took such high honors at a show and they let her go like that. It is a blessing that you are there for her. Congratulations on the great rescue. She will be MUCH hapier with you and away from them.
Here in Co, if a goat is seen like that they sheriff is called and they are removed for the people.

She hates me. She wants nothing at all to do with me. Today was trash pick-up day and I brought the guy up to see her "new feet", he was happy that she is here. But, that goat went right up to him, chattering away. She misses him, but she isn't going back.
I'll win her over. Oh, he told me she's Alpine and Pymgy.

Alpine pygmy - yah she looks it.

She will come around.

Tips, find something she likes. Sit out with it in your hand. Put some on the ground next to you. next time feed it to her by your hand. As she gets more comfortable pet her while she eats. She may like being brushed. I just won over one of my skittish goats with brushing it was the strangest thing!
