Wytsend Darren has his own living quarters, next door to the three large castrated BT boys (who came from a petting farm and are big soft lads) but he goes out to graze with them. They are about double him in size - think they were bottle fed as kids, and grews to Shetland pony size. Their last owner was told they were pygmy goats .......er ......not quite, as she found out!!
Anyway, Darren is happy enough with the boys, although he does find them a bit boisterous at times when they run round, but he has started joining in the fun now!! He has also met Barnie the castrated pygmy who is the same age as him, and again, they got on fine.
I have a pygmy intact billy, but because he and Darren have not been together since kids, I certainly would not let them run together.
My pygmy male runs with his females,and has a female with him at all times, up to kidding, then swap for another. Darren will be mated with the larger females individually.
