Nubian wether pix for deineria

[thaiblue12]

Here is my big boy. when we first got him he was so quick and tore around and we called him Turbo. He is now my slowest goat, lol.
He ended up naming himself and will only respond to Dummy He use to get onto the trampoline which has a net and could not find his way back out and would run around in a circle yelling. I had to resuce him and I would tell him " You are such a dummy." A few times he got his big head stuck in the cat door to the garage, twice making me dismantle the entire thing and I said to him" You are such a dummy." So he named himself and will only come when you say that. Tried to rename him a few times but no luck, lol.
I am going to try to get a picture with my daughter for scale. She is pretty much my height and weight and his head comes up to my boobs and I am 5 foot 4 inches.

Him by a 3x3 bale of hay:



Wish I had taken this pic a second before, as the white Nigie walked right under him:




Not sure how accure these weight tapes are. We put in his skinniest spot right behind his front legs:

He is a big boy! I would be so afraid that someone around here would mistake him for a deer in hunting season!

What a sweety! and trouble maker it sounds like! I laughed at the head stuck in the cat door..I can picture that.lol
btw...you don't need the screws for the measuring tape

Wow - he is so tall! Thanks for the photos! I expected him to look heavier verses so tall - I'd say he is 12'' taller than our buck.

[Backfourty,MI.]

WOW, He looks Huge next to those Nigerians.
I laughed at the cat door story too! I bet he's a realy Gentle Giant though, even though he is a dummy he'd probly be my favorite!

That chewed up thumb belongs to my son Minelson I do not have "man hands", lol.
Thankfully he has out grown his dumb stage.
When he lays down at times looks like a beached whale. I have video of him laying in the sun and moaning. He does it often and moans pretty much with every breath
He is very gentle and never mean. At times he steps on your foot to be closer to you and oh boy do you know it!

We have a buck like that. He doesn't really get into trouble, but he is huge and just has a dumb look on his face. Its almost blank. I took him to a friends to breed her goats (I take him every year) and usually just throw him into the back of my blazer. This year, he did not fit, he could not stand up with his head down, his back was nearly to the roof. I don't know where the size came from. I joke with my DS and tell him that if someone just glanced at him, they would think he was a calf, he is solid black.

I have doe that will be 7 in March and your wether looks just like her, they could be twins. I'm at work right now and i'll post a picture of her when I get home, she's not as big but the color and disposition are the same. I have a wether that will be 11 in April and he is a gentle giant. Just love my wether's, The girls have a attitude 9 out of 10 times and don't like to be loved on let alone touched, not my boys they are lover boys.
