Norbert! Our new Nigie buckling....
I think I finally able to post pics!!!! I cannot believe it, a teen on another forum taught me how to do this, I am so so so grateful I am going to posting LOTS of photos...
he is 10 weeks old in 2 days, and registered:
first one is Norbert 9weeks, then with our house and 1 of our dogs in background, last is him with the herd (he weighs in a 14 lbs, yesterday, we put him on our dogs' vet's scale)...

Yeah I am a newbie and I was scared to death at bucklings being fertile at 8weeks.... (the spotted ladies are a little young 6months old)-- but I think we have some time before he will be breeding anybody(?)....

Actually I would love goat babies in the spring (way better than Fall I am seeing!)-- if he would just sleep with the herd at night he could probably do the deed while they are laying down.... but between child taking him to bed and him going into a chicken nest box at night.... doesnt look to good for that but... we will see-- maybe I will have ..surprise.. babies to post pics of!

Well, he may get them bred by late winter for early summer kids.

He's thinking, "She will be mine. Oh, yes. She WILL be mine!"

LOL you guys I am hopeful, he is hanging with the ladies now browsing during the day and tonight I found him on top of the dog crate out with the gals instead of holing up in the coop with the hens (wrong girls, Norbert!)... so we are making progress....
