IdahoNancy tipped me off you are still looking for a home for the guy.

Hi Kelly,
I understand Alpines are a bit more 'bossy' than other breeds. Cody, my older alpine sure had demonstrated that ever since he was a kid...along with his sister. They would pick on one of my boers and never refused a challenge from the other goats. LOL. Sawyer is a sweet boy. He's always been in the mellow side. I have three alpines (Cody, Sawyer and Jazzy (currently in milk)) and one Boer, Walter. Sawyer has always been nicer to any new goats I brought home (leased couple goats in milk two summers in a row) and while he is getting more assertive with Jazzy (bought her in summer 2016), he was never too rough and was the best kid-sitter with Jazzy's buckling. He and Jazzy can share a feeder as well.
I am still looking for a home for Sawyer. I am also willing to sell Cody with him if someone is looking for couple goats to pack with. I had plans to take them packing but in reality, I probably will not. If someone would like both of them, I will sell them together with a pack saddle and a set of pannier also. Cody will be five this April.
