fyi, when I weigh them, I save the date, their age, their height in a spreadsheet and compare each goat to see how fast each builds out over time. (yes, I'm an engineer)

as you can see, Ziffel is lagging his elders on weight. he's also got pretty small bones. time will tell, I reckon....

They actually did help with putting a stop to the GMUG goat ban when they still have active sheep grazing allotments in bighorn country with no plan to alter those

agree. for such a tiny organization, they're pretty effective.
that said.... the domestic sheep hypocrisy is pretty over the top, so it SHOULD be an easy argument.

Sam Drucker, Hank Kimball, and Oliver Wendell Douglass joined our herd yesterday. they are only 2-3 weeks old and cute as a button.
we now have 6, which is my planned "peak" herd size.
now they need to put on about 3 years, 200# and a couple feet of height.

Yeah, I haven’t done much other than have them respond to a come here call. But that’s a group thing, I’ve never trained a goat to come to its own name. I hear that’s doable. But definitely in that same vein, cart goats respond to commands just like sled dogs.
Also when they crowd the gate to their own I tell them to get back and they do

So still hoping to get live weights but the taped weight for the two smallest ones suggest 200 and 215 each at 42 and 43 inches. Ragnar is 45 inches and Gunnar about 47 inches. According to pig charts Ragnar might be 240-240 range and Gunnar about 260-270.
