Unlike with dogs, it is hard to sometimes tell what breeds are in a goat. There are are three catagories: Dairy,Meat and Fiber (Angora). The two types in my herd are Dairy and Meat. The breeds I know are mixed in are: Boar,Nubian,Pygmy, and possibly some Saanan.
Luvie RIP: Good tempered Dairy X who loved to rest her head in your lap while you rubbed her chin. Her sisters name is/was Dovie. She had Snickers four months before she was killed by a Bully breed dog.
Dovie: Goat who could hold a grudge forever. She was the polar opposite of Luvie, she would ram other goats, cats, dogs, and the donkey who protects them. She was just too aggressive so she had to go, sold her to a lady who missed having goats around.

Snickers: Luvie's daughter. The first thing she did after coming out, was to suckle on my pants. When she was smaller she used to sit in my lap and doze. First pic is her as a baby, second was taken two months ago and third is her strange sleeping position. (I kid you not, that is how she normally sleeps)

Sonny: Pygmy buck we got at a feed store. Grew up to be a beutiful gold and black buck.Was a donkey in a goats body, stubborn as heck and bossed the does around. Had great confirmation, got him at the feed store since the local pygmy breeder had too many males and didn't want to cull him. Sold him on Saturday along with Belle and her baby, to a man wanting to start a herd. First pic is him as an adolescent, second is him last month.
Belle: Got her from the lady we got Luvie and Duvie from. I swear you could her the wind whistle threw her ears. That head had to be empty. The only goat that would just stare at you when you opened the gate to let her out to graze. She is now with Sonny at her new home. First pic adolescent, second in Nov.
Mishka: Got her from the same lady as the others. She is the new herd nanny since Luvie's death. She is a strange creature. She kinda looks like the flying nun with those ears. She also is a mode of transportation for the babies, think surfing.
Wyatt RIP: Gorgeous buck who loved to take care of the babies when the mommas weren't paying attention to them. When it was time for them to go out and graze, if one stayed in and cried he would go to it and gently nudge it out. Sadly he became paralyzed by a deer worm(Meningeal worm and we had to put him to sleep since he would never walk again and I could not watch him starve to death.
Briar: A little deer like goat we got with Wyatt. They were like brother and sister to each other. They always nested together. She is a really dainty goat who loves to nible alfalfa cubes while you hold them. She is the mother of Bunny.
Bunny: Briar's little girl. She is a very curious and cute doeling. She was born in January 2010.
