we fetched our new additions on sunday,3 brothers and a sister,anglo nubian dad and g/g mum! they are very sweet and very small though due to her having 4!! id never seen this before

here's a pic of binkey! we've called him that because he looks like 'jar jar binks' out of star wars!! ..he is the smallest boy and his sister is idential to him,size and colour! not got a name for her yet!!

Then theres oscar (brown n white) who we are keeping as a stud for the other goats we have and last is the other boy who is the odd one...he looks more g/g than the others as they are definatly a/n looking!

Ah, he's cute. Are quads unusual?

[Anke]

Are they BGS registered as HB goats? It would be an unusual cross, but you may get high fat milk, especially if Dad also had other daughters with good butterfats.

I had a GGxAN goatling (rescue) for a while, but had to sell her as I am going down the pure GG and BG route, and AN's aren't the right cross for BG's.

non are registered unfortunatly! we just have a small herd to produce some meat billies and maybe go into some milk produce next year.x.

Not that unusual for Anglo-Nubian's (one half of the cross in this case). The other breeds can have up to 5 as well, but it takes more out of them as they are heavier boned.

just a thought thinking ahead have you checked the slaughter house you use kill goats, we have to take ours to a different one to the sheep, pigs and  cattle as our usual one will not do goats and a lady i was talking to the other week has had a nightmare in her area to find a slaughter house that takes goats she has to travel 140 miles rather than 10 for her local one.

we are trying to talk our slaughter house into looking into goats & their meat but i dont think it will be easy 

that reminds me got to pick up this weeks goat meat today 

[Anke]

Good point. I am lucky because ours does (15 mins down the road), but goats need a different license to sheep. If they do not expect to get a reasonable amount of business in goats they are unlikely to go down that route.

But they do not like to do big fully grown intact billies...

[littlemisspiggy!]

ours do them! thankfully..10 mins down the road and got local butcher who will do that side aswell.
we will be castrating the billies so we can keep them longer rather than slaughtering tiny kid goats,this should stop the taint apparently! x.x.x

heres another pic with all 4 in! its a good one of oscar!!
