STOCK-Creepy Ram by Jay Ryser

This is the same Dall Ram (#9) from the Denver zoo. He’s the only male in with several females in their habitat. He seems to enjoy that too. After a few minutes of photographing him, he kept starring at me. He pooped and urinated while starring at me. Then he craned his neck out, twisted his head, jutted out his teeth and stuck out his tongue – while starring at me. It was a little creepy. My wife watched the whole thing and said, “I don’t think he likes you very much.” Dall Sheep (Ovis dalli) / Denver Zoo / Denver, CO / Sony Alpha700 / Sigma 300 f/2.8 / Giottos tripod, Acratech ballhead, Wimberley Sidekick ISO200, f/5, 1/4000sec, -2/3EV

My name is Samson by celesteodono

This is Samson. He lives in Mill Bay, British Columbia, Canada. He is a Nigerian dwarf goat that our friend owns as a pet. Samson behaves more like a dog than a goat. That’s probably because Nigerian dwarf goats are easily trainable to walk on a leash. As such, he has excellent leash manners and such a sweetie.

Here I Come!! by Ginny York

This is a very friendly little goat that lives on one of the backroads nearby where I live in Amherst, Virginia. The ears are really small and strange looking. I looked up goats on Wikipedia…and I believe this to be A LaMancha Goat. Taken with my Canon Powershot SX110 IS / / LaMancha (goat) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The LaMancha is a breed of milking goat noted for its apparent lack of, or much reduced, external ears. The LaMancha breed is medium in size, and is also noted for a generally calm, quiet, and gentle temperament. The LaMancha goat was developed in the 1930s in Oregon by Eula F. Frey who crossed some Californian short-eared goats believed to have Spanish blood with her outstanding Swiss and Nubian Bucks. The LaMancha has excellent dairy temperament and is an all-around sturdy animal that can withstand a great deal of hardship and still produce. Through official testing this breed has established itself in milk production with high butterfat. The LaMancha face is straight, with ears being the distinctive breed characteristic. A Roman nose, that is typically a characteristic of a Nubian goat, is considered a moderate to serious breed defect of the LaMancha goat. The LaMancha goat is typically a good 4-H show goat. The LaMancha goat comes in just about any color. There are two types of LaMancha ears. In does, neither type of ear has an advantage over the other. The two types are described as follows: Gopher ear: The external ear is very small and appears to be ‘shriveled’. There is no fold and the external ear must always exceed 1 inch (2.5 cm). This is the only type of ear which will make bucks eligible for registration. Elf ear: An approximate maximum length of 2 inches is allowed. The end of the ear must be turned up or turned down, and cartilage shaping the small ear is allowed. LaManchas with a fold exceeding the allowed length cannot be registered as purebred animals. Any color or combination of colors is acceptable with no preferences. The hair is short, fine and glossy. LaManchas do have ears; that is to say an auditory canal and other internal structures. It is the pinna that is visibly shrunken. It is not usually possible to use ear tags or ear tattoos for identification of individual LaMancha goats. Tattoos are normally placed on the tail web. The rather small ears on LaManchas make them a unique breed. However, it is possible to breed the small ear ‘out of them’. The reason only gopher eared bucks are allowed to be registered is because two ‘elf’ eared animals bred together can create an erect (normal) eared kid. Some breeders prefer the gopher ears on all of their animals, but the type of ear is purely cosmetic. You can’t see their ears, so some people say they have no ears at all.

About This Group

Goats give you hours of entertainment with their farmyard antics. Just ask Izzy, my goat, who loves playing chasey with the ponies and dogs!!

Ever wanted one of these four legged lawnmowers?

Goats eat weeds and the seeds aren’t germinated once they pass through the other end. They also get into the places your other livestock can’t and eat those hard to reach weeds and grass. Their mouths are tough so they can eat prickly plants. Goats have 4 stomachs (ruminants) so they can digest fibrous plants. As all animals Goats need shelter and regular worming and vaccination. They live for 15-20 years and are very clever when it comes to getting out of small gaps in fences. Do some research and talk to some goat owners or breeders before buying one of your own. (and keep hanging that washing out).

Enjoy this group just for goats…we love them :))
Wether they be wild or pets we don’t care…we want to see them all!!!! :))
