My Goaties :)

This is Oreo, he's a 7 month old nigerian/pygmy wether, and is my shadow <3 can always count on him to cheer you up! He's my little lap goat
This is where he sleeps

And last but not least, the new buck. No name yet, 8 months old, super duper sweet. He is a fullblood but only reg as 50% due to lack of papers on mom.

I like the looks of your buck! As for being registered, no boer registry allows bucks less than 97% to be registered... and no kids out of bucks less than 97% can be registered. He looks like a great commercial buck - can't wait to see pics of him all grown up. I have a couple fullblood does that are just lovely, but due to a papertrail mishap along the line, they're unregistered too. Well, 2 can be registered at 50% but I haven't done it yet. Figured no problem waiting until I have kids I want to register out of them, first.

SUPER jealous of your red doe. *drools*. I want a red, and a black, and a red polkaspotted, and a black polkaspotted, and a red paint, and a black paint... I already have some cream roans, a butterscotch, (crosses of course), as well as many traditionals. Had an 88% red BUCKLING born this spring, woulda kept it in a heartbeat if it was a doe.*sigh*.

Oh jeez...you know how very stupid I am???? I seriously knew that about the bucks being registered!!! {{{Smacks self in ------}} LOL How very stupid am I to let that totally slide while looking at this buck and wth is it with me and finding all these loser, lying goat breeders guess SOMEONE will be getting a phone call tomorrow to inform him this guy cannot be registered! Oh well, he's staying put at my house....he will make lovely meat goats and possibly great show wethers for 4-h...guess its a good thing not many people around here worry about papers! Jeez I am such a half wit sometimes!

Wow! I love your buckling. Registered or not, he's truly awesome. And Rose is a chunk. Oreo is too sweet for words.

Great looking group of goats! Oreo looks like a real rascal & I'm sure he'd be my favorite too but I have a soft spot for the wethers.
Your new Buck is really Handsome & for some reason he looks like his name should be Bosco.

Okay I am coming to take Oreo. He called and said he wants to live in Oklahoma lol. He is to darn cute!!!! You have some beautiful Boers. Your red girl makes me second guess getting out of Boers. I hope you have tons of little cute painted Boer does.

Oh dear Oreo is going to need a bigger pan real soon. What a cutie!
Love Rose too but your other goaties will do (not that Im partial or anything)
So does the buck have a name? Is he your favorite? He got extra press time here.

Beautiful critters!

The gentlemen standing on the other side of the fence in one of the photos of your buck is in perfect "firing range" for a dose of buck perfume!
