We had Nubians when I was a teenager (one male, one female, and they obviously had some babies). One of the offspring got bloat and died, unfortunately. They were great for eating the thorns and poison ivy (which I’m highly allergic to). They are also very entertaining little critters—except when they tap dance on the hood of a car. ;) I wouldn’t mind having another one.

I have two Nubians left out of about 20 at one point. I'm letting them live out their lives and I'm done with goats due to health reasons. I sold off 5 of my herd a few years back. The buyer shows up too haul them in a station wagon. I looked at them and said you haven't raised goats long have you? LOL.

If not debudded they can be very violent animals and deserve due respect handling them. There is no way I would let a kid be in a pen with horned goats alone.
