Thanks kredish! Yeah...i think Yasmine is what they call an "easy Keeper" shes back to baby weight!!! 0.0 !! she looks like shes preger!!! I am gona try and sell this lil guy as a pet, or a breeder to a dairy...his uhh manly parts are huge! and i think he would be good at that job and hes growing soooo fast, id say hes gaind a good four or five pounds!
still wating pam! hehehe have you pulled all you hair out yet? no? then its not time

edit..his mom is wonderful!! she even hunches over when he nurses so its easyer to reach. and if he wants to stand where her back leg is shes like "oh okay let me pick this up for ya" lol! iv got to get a pic of that for you guys! but prepare yourself if he gets out of her sight! she will scream bloody goat murder!

Sure that is fine..he is experimenting and learning They like to put everything in their mouth...especially hair, so get ready for a new hair cut!

Congrats on a cute new wether in the making! In answer to your question, if he'd been a doe kid, he could be recorded, but as a buckling, he cannot. Bucks have to have both parents registered and of the same breed. So, most dairies would not be looking for a grade buck, even with great lines behind him. Pet wether, pack wether, cart goat brush eater or meat are in his future. Enjoy him while he's little

Nice pics of the process, too. Thanks for sharing them.
