Question about growing to fast and pics

Booboo just turned 5 months on the 22nd of this month is almost 90 lbs if not already there. I am a little worried about him growing to fast and what that might do to his joints later in life. What does everyone think?

Also some pictures of the fat man.

I don't think they can grow too fast - if they have proper care. . . they grow to their genetic potential at that correct rate - I think the size looks on target. . .

I don't know much about growth in goats but he looks nice and stocky. If he was a dog, I would say that he should be fine. It seems like his bone mass is matching his weight and he should be fine.

a single kid getting ALL of moms milk he wants is going to grow faster than a twin or triplet, it also helps if mom is a good producer, i had a buckling that was out of a smaller first timer doe that was bigger than her in about 5-6 months and had started breeding the does in the herd sense i had already sold the adult buck.

Well since he is the one that gets in trouble the most he gets told almost daily "You wanna be BBQ? Keep it up!!!" This is the bfs wether so he will live here until the day he dies. Eric is a big teddy bear and when he falls in love with something its forever.

better tell him not to keep falling in love with dinner lol, try nameing the next ones a little more appropriately, like BBQ, Brisket, Chops, etc lol,
