Here's Zeke

We decided to get a small, horned buck to breed to our ND does. We found Zeke, advertised as a 6 month old mini mancha (Father La Mancha and mother ND-Poor gal). I'm sure from his horn size and teeth (he has 8 bottom adult teeth) he is older than 6 months, but he's just what I was looking for and I think he is adorable. And those blue eyes with brown polka dots are amazing. If ya would have asked me 12 months ago, I never would have dreamed of owning an earless goat!

DH and DS22 on the other hand think his little ears are creepy...

PS, he'll be getting copper bolused this weekend.

His poofy hair do is so cute. He's going to have quite the mop of hair one day. Good job finding that cutie!

He would say, "Thank you. Thank you very much."

I curled my upper lip as I typed that. I'm a dork.

I read DH your respones and all he could say was "he's weird". This from the man that has supported my new goat addiction and even added to it by suggesting we raise meat goats! go figure?
