    Very nice pets they are

    they can not bite they can not scratch

    and there great buds

    as for the boar goats I only know of two and they where pretty nice but one of them was very pushey and the other shy.

    but you cant lable a breed as there all individuals I have found that the younger they are when you get them the tamer they tend to be.

    since you have a baby I would not suggest you get a doe or a buck, due to the fact that bucks go into Runt and start to wee on there beard and head and get very agressive,

    a doe will try to escape to find a boy goat if she is in season (heat cycle)

    where as a weather will be just a very good placid pet in case you don't know a weather is a desexed boy goat desex them when there young under a month old or they will have hormoans running around.

    just the same as male dogs they get agressive if you don't desex them and females try to find a boy dog in heat.

    also I strongly suggest you have them Debudded removal of the horn buds.

    if your baby goes to play with the goats he can get knocked over Eye poked ect just by accedent if the goat moves his head and your baby happends to be there a head with out horns is safer.

    I have aGoat weather Who has been debudded and desexed by my vet.

    below is not a video of me but it is a video of how to have these pruceduers done

    if you bottle feed them they tend to bond more too
