Pygmies with Boers?

[laikajg]

I have three grown female boer goats and a friend would like to get a baby pygmy and keep it here at our farm. Do you think they would get along? The two older girls butt the younger of our three goats and I wonder how a tiny pygmy would hold up.

Also, would you recommend a female or whether for this situation? Someone had mentioned females going into heat often and then being a problem, but I don't really know much about pygmies.

We're thinking bottle baby would be preferable, since we have lots of children around and keep our goats mainly as pets (and weed eaters).

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I don't know if this helps or not but we keep boers and angoras together. Our one angora doe is much smaller than everybody else so, of course, she is at the bottom of the ladder. The do butt her now and then but it's never too much - just what they normally do to keep everyone in their place.
