Pygmy doelings

I am getting two polled Pygmy doe kids (buck was polled) 8-9 weeks old, o"Ruby" is red and Carmel is light chamoisse.
Very cute We go on Tuesday night to see them and pick up
Adding to the menagerie..... Shetland sheep, Splash Silkie bantams and Ameraucana laying hens.

We have had big goats before, these are our first small goats.
Emailed pics better ones later

Very cute, but I hope they are being bottlefed and you can continue to bottlefeed to a minimum of 12 weeks. It they are on the dam, I would recommend giving a deposit and then picking them up at 12 weeks.

Awww, they are so cute. I agree with Creamers though, let them stay with momma until they are 12 weeks if you can, they will do much better.

Many people sell goat kids that young. . .because they just don't care and will let them go at that age. Very sad.

We sale Kinders - disbudding, of course, lol - but we are far, far from you

I always run my ad early in the spring after kids start being born or when the last kids come & I take deposits. !st come around here, then I hold them till they are old enough to leave, etc.
I always let them come to visit the kids they are waiting on too.
