Stocking up with more gear at awesome prices. Going to give their HgH a shot too. 
Thanks again guys for fast service and TN.
The baby is our first goat of the year on our farm….with more to come soon. Thought I give you guys a treat. The mom rejected her, so the wife has a bottle baby now 
Not her first though…..she’s already attached and her name is Elsa.

How could mom reject cute thing like that. Will she pay attention to her once she gets older and back in the pen with the others.
I know, sucks when it happens. And usually it was for reason. This is one was weak at birth and never would’ve made it had we not intervened. And without that initial bonding, plus the rejection, once we introduce her back in, the mom will see her as complete stranger that we will work back into that “herd”. She’ll be ok after that. Just part of the herd. But no mom/kid bond like the other we have.
That is just the way nature works. Tough to be an animal. Hopefully she won't get picked on. Is she a runt?
Nature takes no sides. The wife still has a hard time getting that. Single kid. Not really a runt. Looks almost identical to mom when she was born. Mom was a bottle baby too. She’ll be fine once we introduce her a couple more into the pens.
Just like Humans mate - Bad parents learn from bad parents.
You better keep these pictures hidden from your wife mate otherwise you will be coming home to a Goat stood on your car again!!
Yeah make sure she sees the sweater pics.
Oh, hell no
Only 4 lbs now. She fits in her pocket !!
That is tiny. How heavy when full grown?
So she’s a Nigerian Dwarf breed, which will make her small. But she also has some Pygmy in there too. So really small. She’ll get maybe 30-40 lb. Max if that. I have larger breeds as well. These are the “fun” ones lol. Lots of energy.
So does she Baahaaaha in the house yet?
HAHAhahah You are good guys mate, lucky to have you two.
Goats, donkeys, pigs, I never know what to expect when I come home. Now she wants a lizard of all things.
Why not just catch a few snakes from outside then stick them in a tank and say you bought them?! LOL
I can find those outside my home anytime, just not always the good ones……
Do you have venomous ones like rattlesnakes?
My part we have various rattlesnakes, copperheads, cottonmouths, and the rare coral. Only domestic poisonous to the area. All others are non.
I keep a snake bag and rod in my truck
Now the Copperheads and Cottonmouths I do know of, I use to watch those snake videos on youtube of them devouring mice and those are some evil M'fckers!! Use to find it interesting the various ways each of the different venoms worked. Wouldn't get me near one though - scared shitless of snakes.
I hope you won't let her get too close to your gear, so she couldn't accidentaly become a huge puffy Goatzilla!
I’ve thought about it on one my stud goats.
Lol
Hahaha bro this is super sweet!
Do baby goats have big talons?
Hoofs like horses. Not really sharp teeth. Grazing animals.
That's an adorable little goat
Now of course I don’t know jack about goats or farming and raising them but isn’t this an odd time for them to be having babies or they like humans and just bang year round lol
Gestation is about 5 months. But it’s hard to control when they go into heat and are actually bred. Winter time can be bad, but summer has its own issues as well. It’s not too hard to tell when they are about to pop, just have to prepare a little.
So do you notice a definite difference then if the animal has been human fed as a baby as opposed to being raised by its own mother in terms of how it responds to you in the fields and how tame it is, or is it a case of the goat is either friendly towards humans or it isn't no matter how it is brought up?
That’s a tricky answer. When they are bottle babies, they are guaranteed friendly, as they are pack animals. They will bond to the person that feds them and seek that person out whenever you go into that pen. But when they are raised by mom, it depends on the individual animal and the amount of daily human contact they get and how much mom got. Some are VERY used to me and follow me and even come on command. But a few, just don’t care to be messed with. They tolerate human contact, but don’t really care for it. For the most part, whatever pen I go into, they want to see me and get scratched all over
KonstantViktoryLol, that's awesome. Great goat.
That tren looks spicy AF.
I didn't notice till now, and yeah it looks dark as fuck. I have couple other vials from previous TD that'll compare to cause now I'm curious too
Ahhhh She is sooo fuckin cute mate!!!! Gotta be the best pictures yet
That must be pretty cool having a little goat running around the house, where does she sleep?
We actually just use a baby crib. Works pretty well till they are just about old enough to jump out. Then they are close to being weaned and can go out with others.
That Mohican hair gives her some real character! Lol
Wife said had he been a boy, his name would’ve been Spike from Gremlims.
How old is she?
Just a week old Monday.
Awesome! My wife is loving these pics
Holy shit a sweater on a baby goat….if my wife saw that I can promise I’d come home one day to her having purchased a baby goat from somewhere and already have a full wardrobe for it.
That things cute man, that sad why does the mom reject it?
Just a nature thing. Usually bc something is wrong with it. In this case, it was multiple things. She was very weak and would not have been able to nurse properly. She was also stuck during delivery and had to be pulled manually. Additional stress and weakness. Now she gets another chance. So far, healthy and jumping around. Ironic since mom was a bottle baby herself…..
Oh I thought it was perfectly fine and mama was just like “nah I don’t like that one” lol
What's that fellas name?
Her name is Elsa.
Ok I see you put her name up top. I just looked at her in amazement and didn't read that. Nice fitting name. @Mac12769
Lol....gear pic is nice but those bottom pics are nicer! That rascal
