My little Anglo Nubian does exactly the same thing. She was in a very similiar pose lying next to her mum on our paddock in the sunshine at the weekend.

They do that sometimes. Generally they grow out of it but not always. I did once have a member of the public tell me my goat was dead at a show because she was asleep like that. She was in a really deep sleep too!

What a cuteness  ;D I haven't seen mine do that - they just sleep in a heap, two heads and eight legs  :)

Mine do that too. I don't mind if the sleep upside down (which I bet they would if they could ::) ) as long as they are happy!
