Why thank you! I agree that Finn is one classy-looking goat (one reason we kept him!), and you can certainly tell that Sledge and Hammer are his boys! I love that the white goes all the way across the back on Finn and Hammer--that's probably one reason they catch your eye. But I also love Sledge's "donut" face marking. It's very unique. Other than Hammer's slightly turned-in front legs, the boys really take after their father with their long, level backs and strong, deep shoulders. I'm so glad we opted to breed Finn last fall. He's such a nice boy that I wish we could have bred him for more seasons, but at the same time, he's such a nice boy that we needed to wether him so we could start working with him. Catch 22 right there!
I think Sledge and Hammer will make lovely packgoats. I need to start advertising them soon! I'd love to find a home for them by the time they're weaned in a couple more months. I hope people aren't put off by the fact that they are dam-raised. Some folks seem to insist that their packgoats be bottle babies, but you'd never know the difference with these two. They LOVE people and will drop everything for some human interaction. I think it's more about the time you spend together than about who feeds them.
