Sometimes they just will not cooperate for pictures
I had a friend over to help me get some pictures of mostly doe(lings) I am planning on selling.
We got some pictures of some older does as well.
After many many pictures, I thought I would share a couple that won't make the website, but sure had us laughing.
Natalia here simply refused to calm down and cooperate. We only managed two shots (well three shots, but the individual in the photo would KILL me if I shared the other funny one) before I realized it was a waste of our time.
This one of Raven will make the website (she's not for sale);
Looks like she was bored with the whole ordeal. That or trying to be sure her buddies didn't leave her;
I, unfortunately, did not get any pictures of the does trying to box my handler. I remember at least three doe(lings) rearing up and trying to box with her.
Ah well. Fun was had by me. Hopefully by my handlers as well. I ended up with some pretty decent pictures. Which are not on the site yet.
Sometimes if you just let nature take her course, you end up with nice pictures as well;
Sold pending a clean CAE test (already confirmed Pregnant...gotta love Biotracking)
She knows she is all that.

It looks like all these are posed on a hill?

The last one would be on somewhat level ground except she was standing on the rock.
It isn't easy to find level in the foothills here. I have other pictures where they are on a more level surface, but my preference is to take pictures with mostly grass behind and the closest to the main goat pen is the area we were taking pictures in.
The second to last picture is also on a more level spot than the posed pictures. She was further up the hill.
We had to get pictures of around 20 goats, so time was limited. Backgrounds are important as well. Just happens to be how we did it that day.
Here is the same area, different day (year even- 2007), different angle.
Even there, level just doesn't happen on the hillside. lol
This is taken on a different hillside;
Also on a small hill;
This is about the closest to level surface we get. lol A built surface.
This also shows off her hooves which need trimmed horribly.
When I am taking pictures for the website, this is my preference for spots.
But that is on the other side of the farm from the Main herd pen. Time was short and there were lots to take pictures of.
My biggest goal is to get the pictures up so people can see color and some idea of build.

I love the 3rd pic. Most of my pics end up just being a goat nose sniffing my camera. "Hey Ma, this doesn't smell like pine browse..."

Thanks.
The black doe, Marguerite (3/4 Nubian, 1/4 LaMancha/Alpine) is actually small for her breed and age.
The white doe, Snow White (1/2 LaMancha/Alpine, 1/2 Saanen) is 10 1/2 in that picture and about a week fresh. She is also a bit smaller than some of our more mature does, but not by much.
At least I assume those were the two you meant.
The picture has her face. I could blur it, but it is better left unshown. Just picture that first doe with a rider astride. Neck still stretched out like she is racing away.
