I’ve probably nearly done enough posts about goats but here is one last one of some really pretty Anglo-Nubians. This is another milking breed but they have long, pendulous ears and come in some gorgeous coat patterns.
The main problem with this breed is that if they are upset about something, and even sometimes when they are not upset, they scream really loudly. One youngster at the show wasn’t happy about something and it had everyone looking trying to work out what all the noise was about.
And @wolfgirl569 has just introduced me to a goat breed with even longer ears than the Anglo-Nubian. It’s the Hijazi goat. Check it out if you like goats with looonnnggg ears.

@JudyEv They probably do lol. I can pin the ears up in the winter with a cute bow.

You would have to wonder what the reason is. I can't think of any good ones.

I think my sister's goat was an Anglo-Nubian. He closely resembled, in coloration, the one on the ground and had long ears. She kept him as a companion for her horse when she only had the one horse. Now she has two horses, a pony, and a donkey. The goat has long since gone to the pasture above.

Oh, I love those long ears. I just recently saw on the net that there were such things as fainting goats do you know anything about them?
