How old are they? They don't look full grown but it could be the mix, they often grow until they are four years old. We had a wether go from a little over knee high to almost to our waist when he turned three.
Well the black one has since grown up so he would only be 1 year old and i think the brown one is about 2 or three now... so you could very well be right that they might grow bigger.
They could, they are adorable any how. They always seem like they take for ever to grow, than next thing you know the little one you carried in your arms, now can pull a 200 pound man off his feet. Good luck with them, it is always a surprise in the morning around here with my families three.
Hi,
Both of your goats are mixes.
Based on first picture and markings on the brown/black goat (bay colored body with black points on head, belly, topline, and legs) it looks strongly to have Oberhasli (my goat breed) or Alpine. Oberhaslis are always marked similarly as your goat, but Alpines can also have those markings as well as many other colors. However, the larger slightly bent ears in the second picture strongly suggest Nubian is in there somewhere. Alpines and Oberhaslis have shorter erect ears while Nubians have long floppy ears. When Nubians are mixed with other dairy goat breeds it will produce ears just like the brown one.
Based on all the pictures, the smaller black goat has the markings and body type of a Nigerian Dwarf mix or a Pygora type mixed with Nubian (again, the slightly larger more flopped ears.) It could be what is called a mini Nubian- part Nigerian and part Nubian. The wavy hair coat may suggest the Pygora mix more though instead of a Nigerian mix. Although he/she might have grown up some and slicked out of the fuzzy kid coat and look more dairy goat like now.
Too cute that's for sure!
Goats are like potato chips... you can't have just one!

Thankyou so much that is soo good to know I love them to death and because of their size they are so much fun but again thankyou it's nice to know about what people think Posted via Mobile Device
I rasie goats..so let me see... They look like Alpine crosses.. (like the above person said) and the black one...some kind of mix haha... They look ADOREABLE tho
I raise goats as well, mini nubians and mini alpines. I have to agree that they look like alpine crosses. The brown one looks like it might have a tad bit of nubian in it due to the droop in the ear. Either way, they are super cute
I raise alot of goats try 150 or more and they are possibly kiko....they still look young but heres a website... Kiko Goats Information Site ....they come in all shapes, sizes, and colors..
