Pygmy goat kids - more of Jazz & JBug! (day four)

The adult Pygmy does you see in the video are approximately 19-20 inches tall at the shoulder. That is a little under knee high to my 5'3". They are 2-4 lbs. at birth and mature at around 50-60 lbs by age three, most of that being their stocky little bodies. :)

They need a small barn or shed (draft-free housing), fresh hay and water and ocassional small amounts of grain (1/2 cup of less unless they are nursing kids), yearly vaccinations and a safely fenced play area. They are wonderfully friendly and social. The adults don't play quite as "non-stop" actively as the kids, but DO continue playing (running around, jumping/climbing and "spronking") all thru their lives. They really just get more lovable as they mature (smile).
