I’ve not named then; because they are for sale, trade, or for food. I call them Chili and Chops, so people know not to get too attached to them. They were born to CutiePie and Bucky on November 22nd, 2024. Bucky is 50% Nubian and 50% Nigerian. CutiePie is mostly Pyrenean and Nigerian, I think. She is an unknown.
If you want them to breed, you can buy them in February 2025, before I wether them in May; they are $275/ea. Chili is the darker one; Chops is the lighter one, who looks a lot like his father.
After February and before July 2025, they will go for meat/wether price at $175/ea. You can use them as a companion animal, a Pet Organic Composting Machine; or you can take it to the market for your specific choice in cuts of meat. Wethers are less valuable or less expensive because of two reasons. They have been castrated, and can no longer breed. Butchers will charger at least $100-125 per goat to process them.
After July, and before the end of the year; they will be butchered and the price for meat will be $350/ea. I will also have individually wrapped meat prices at that time, if you don’t want the whole goat. I will probably wait till August or September to cull them. The last goats I ended up waiting 9 months, one month longer then I had planned; and they turned out about 35lbs each and tasted pretty good. So this year, I might wait 10 months.
I had Summer Sausage made (with cheese and jalapeños), Jerky, Chops, Ground hamburger meat, Roast and more. So far, the Jerky was the least favorite; so I probably won’t be making much of that again.
Ramsay had her babies early this morning or late last night 🌙 She got mastitis last time, and lost her last two baby boys; while I was out over the road. 😿 I’ll be home in two days to check on her; my girlfriend took the pictures, and said they were nursing, so that’s a good sign. 🤞 I have some special Feed for her this go around, hope it helps 🙏 I need to formulate an herbal blend for nursing mothers, to help prevent things like that from happening again in the future; I just hadn’t had time to do it yet. Hopefully this supplement I bought will help 🙏
Four more babies born on the land; two to Darlene yesterday, and two to Cutie Pie today. Cutie Pie is also Darlene’s mom. Unfortunately, one of Darlene’s babies didn’t make it 😿 The other three appear to be girls. We need three girl names, to name them.
I was going to keep him, because someone wanted to have me stud him to her goats. But that has changed, so now he’s for sale. I will be wethering him in September, if no one wants him for a buck. The people I got him from tried to burn his horns off unsuccessfully. So I’m willing to part with him for $150
After wethering: $100.
You can use them as a companion animal, a Pet Organic Composting Machine; or you can take it to the market for your specific choice in cuts of meat. Wethers are less valuable or less expensive because of two reasons. They have been castrated, and can no longer breed. Butchers will charger at least $125 per goat to process them.
Meat: $7/lbs after butchering. I will be taking him to market in November or Dec.

Goat names for girls can be a fun and creative way to name your female goat! There are endless possibilities of goat names for girls, including names inspired by nature, Greek and Roman mythology, and even celebrities. Whether you’re looking for something classic, silly, or unique, there is sure to be a goat name that fits your female goat perfectly.
Goats are vibrant animals that you will not get bored watching them climb over surfaces and jump from one corner to another. Due to their overly active nature, people will think that these creatures need a large space in order to keep them as pets, which is not the case. Without a small space, you can choose to rear the small goat breeds. Unlike other pets like dogs, birds, and cats, these animals come with other merits. You get a wonderful companion from them as well as healthy meals like milk and cheese.
When you bring a goat, or any pet for that matter, into your home, it is only fair that you make them feel like a part of the family. Giving your goat a pet name not only means that you have treasured them, but it also helps to bond with them. Some people would find it funny naming a goat due to the mentality that goats not intelligent and therefore will not learn their names. This is not the case. Goats are smart and continuously calling them by their names and with training, they are definitely going to learn their names.

Tips to use when naming your goat
Picking names for pets can be straightforward for some and quite challenging for others. Whether you have a goat at your compound or are thinking of getting one, these tips will definitely help you get a name for them.
Use a famous name
Get your goat pet a name from a famous pet. Names like Benji and Rover are well known pet names for historical pets. Pick one for your pet and who knows? Maybe your pet will live to be remembered.
From the pet’s character
Many pet owners have used this method. Observe your pet for a while and learn its most attractive feature or character and name them after it. For instance, if you own a white goat, you can name it Snowy or Speedy if it is fast.
Choose names with a hard consonant sound
Names with hard consonant sounds are easy for the pet to learn and even hear when they are being called compared to names beginning with a vowel. Names beginning with letters like B, T, D, K, and S should be considered the most.
Pick a short name
A name with one or two syllables is the best. They are easy to learn and also brings out some authority in them. Such names include Pickle, Cookie, and Cosmo.
Source from the internet
The Internet is the source of all information you need. You do not have a name in mind, the internet will never disappoint you. All you need to do is type in your search and relax and wait for the results.
Things to avoid when naming your goat
Be careful not to give your goat pet a name that sounds similar to that of a command. Names sound similar in their pronunciation with names like sit, eat, sleep, no, should be avoided. It is always nice to give your pet a name that has a positive meaning or associated with their likable behavior. some names will portray hate or disliking towards the animal.
Best goat breeds to keep as pets
Pygmy
Pygmies are the commonest goat breeds kept as pets in the world. They are friendly and very likable animals which thrive in almost all climates. Their erect ears and medium-sized hair on their coats bring out all the beauty in them. They come in different colors and can have caramel, black, and agouti patterns.
Mini Toggenburgs
This is the oldest goat breed in history. They are mostly brown in color with some white strips on either side of their face, tail knees, and below their hocks. They are making very good pets and would not get bored spending time with a herd of this breed.
Mini myotonic
This goat can grow to be up to 25 inches tall and 150 pounds heavy. They mostly come in white and black colors but also have other color markings and patterns too. They are friendly and also to keep pets which makes them common pets in many homes. Unlike other gats, they are kept for their meat and not the milk. Read more here.
Nigerian dwarf
Nigerian dwarfs are reared for their milk and meat, which tend to be more nutritious compared to that of other breeds. They are beautiful and intelligent pets with medium-sized erect ears. They are fairly tall at 17-22 inches and weighing about 80 pounds.
Mini alpines
Mini alpines are 30 inches tall and are adapted to thrive in any climate. They might have a white neck or have grey or black markings on their heads. Their heavy milk production is what makes them popular in many homes. With proper feedings, these goats can produce up to 2400 pounds of milk annually. They are friendly and quite hyperactive and therefore need a bigger space to survive.
Everyone knows after the ever-so-famous gateway livestock, the chicken, that you need to add goats. It’s only natural to have a milk source after you have an egg source and what better milk source than to start with baby goats? As a new goat-owner, you’re going to need the best baby goat names. I’m fully confident you’ll LOVE our suggestions- over 300+ of them!
More Than One Goat
Potato chips, money, vacation days, and baby goats. Some things are just better when you have more than one.
Goats are herd animals meaning they need to live with other animals of the same species. Even though you may be the most loving, caring, and attentive goat-owner that ever lived, you still need to have at least two goats.
They are very social creatures and provide hours of endless entertainment.
Goat Reproduction
The male goat is called a buck or a billy goat, the female is called a doe or a nanny goat. The full gestation period for a goat is typically around 150 days. Although a doe can get pregnant twice in one year, it is best for the goat to breed more than once per year.
A doe will give birth to 1 – 5 kids with two kids being average. However, 1-3 is very normal and anything above three is rare.
If we’re going to do some goat math and you have two expectations, within a year your herd of two could potentially grow to a herd of 12! That’s a lot of names to come up with.
Naming Your Goat Herd
Many farmers and homesteaders don’t name their meat goats, which is a personal choice.
We raise milk goats and all of them have names. In addition to our goats, we do raise pigs for meat and those we give food names. Like BBQ, Bacon Bits, etc.
When you start growing your herd, keeping up with all the names can be confusing, that’s why we like going with a theme.
Not only does this help us keep up with their names but it also helps me keep their records straight since all of our goats are registered. I can tell what year they were born by the theme of their names.
You can have a lot of fun with this when you poll your family members into the naming process. For instance, say you choose to name your goats after musicians, each member can pick their favorite musician.
What Should I Name My Baby Goat?
If you plan on raising multiple goats, more the merrier, then I would suggest choosing a herd theme for the year. In terms of goat record-keeping, if your herd has a theme for the year, it’s easier to know how old each goat is.
As an example, say in 2022 you picked tree names for your herd. Then in 2024 you have a goat named Willow, you know they are two years old.
Choosing a themed name for your herd for the year just makes life easier.
As I mentioned earlier, goats live in groups called herds. Female goats are called does, or nanny goats. And male goats are called Billy’s or bucks. All baby goats, whether male or female, are called kids.
I joke all the time telling people how many ‘kids’ I have.
Best Baby Goat Names For 2022
Nothing makes me happy like bouncing baby goats. They always bring a smile to my face and provide hours of free entertainment.
One of the things I look forward to in the new year is referring to all of our name suggestions and picking out our theme for the year.

Goat Breeds
There are two different types of goats and several different breeds. The two types of goats are domestic goats (Capra hircus), which are raised like farm animals and even pet goats. The second is mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus), which live in rocky areas in the American Northwest. Among the domestic goats, there are several different goat breeds.
A male goat also called by buck. They are much larger, broader and more muscular than female goats (does). Though some goats have horns, but it depends on the breed. And since male goats have a longer life expectancy than does, their lifespan is mostly 15 – 18 years. If you have a boy goat, you can call Nick or Dean. Though we also prefer goat names like Angus or Kane.
