Back in October, I wrote about my nephew’s Nigerian Dwarf goat having five little kids. Goats often have multiple kids but quintuplets are pretty unusual. A few days ago, he posted an update on the kids. They have grown so much and are all very healthy. He will probably sell a couple of them. The does bring a really good price. Aren’t they just gorgeous?

@JudyEv Well, yeah, of course...

@wolfgirl569 has been showing off goats for a couple of years, at least.... I can recognize them because they have four feeties and cute little faces.

Very cute kids. They seemed to be healthy, Do they grow horns? I see from one of the heads that there seems a growing horn on it. How much are they usually sold for?

@MarieCoyle It is a huge amount of money. I'm surprised they bring so much.

The horn buds have been seared with a hot iron so the horns won't grow. The does might seel for $6,000 which is a huge amount but the castrated bucks sell as pets for $400- 500.

@JudyEv Wow...even with the conversion factor, that's a lot of money for a doe. At least it is here. They are really cute!

Aren't they cute as buttons? I wonder how that expression got started? Most buttons aren't that cute..

They're gorgeous, at first I thought your discussion was about babies.

. I've never seen goat quintuplets. They are not identical but they have almost the same shade of color. In fact, my grandkids would love playing with them.

@kobesbuddy That's a very astute point - they only have one face.

@JudyEv All animals are much nicer than people. They only have one face, for all the world to see. Even snakes are OK, if humans just leave them alone in the wilderness.
