Yes the pot bellys will get fat ya have to watch that. Roxy our oldest sow I really have to watch as she will get wrikles of fat that will come down over her eyes.She is also a bit lazy so she doesent work it off as well as the others.Thses are the true pot bellys they are about the same highth as a cockerspaniel dog or smaller.(less than knee high)

The boar goat we have introduced for our meat goat herd.They are not great for milking as they barly will make enough for a pair of twins but mixed with the nubian it gives them a better udder that can handle more babies and it produces a bit larger size goat.We have our main breeders that are our pets but we try not to name the babies out of them unless we are sure it will be one of the pets.Then we commence to spoiling them rotten!!

Our nubians are my favorite they are all our pets and they have the most loving sweet personalitys.even the billys are like a dog they want to be where you are and always looking for some loving. They( the boys) do get extreamly smelly tho when the girls come in heat.Kinda hard to hug them then ewwwww
