How Big do u think this Billy is?? I don't know too much about goats. Anyone have an idea of how long his horns are?

Its a crappy pic, but as close as I could get

big enough to shoot. i duno i honestly have no idea, i would say 8-10 inches. nice goat

40" pass

Hard to say.

I think about 9"

Also, I believe this is a nanny.

Not heavy enough at the bases to be a billy, and also, the horns pretty much stick straight up.

9" would be my guess.

I was asuming it was a billy. It was about 300 yards from the main group of 12 goats. The 12 were nannies and kids for sure. I am assuming this would be a respectable goat if one had a tag

I too would guess about 9", hard to tell in that picture though. Not a shooter in my book.

Big enough

SI Eagle · « **Reply #9 on:** June 19, 2010, 07:51:25 AM »

I would say it would be a shooter. 9"

Shooter for me...

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #11 on:** June 19, 2010, 11:01:46 AM »

nice looking goat would be a shooter in my book.

low 40's, pass...much bigger running around.

jackelope · « **Reply #13 on:** June 19, 2010, 09:19:09 PM »

I can't field judge a goat for anything but if the guys are right saying low 40's then that should not be a shooter.

How do you tell the difference between a nanny and a billy? I thought billy's had a black spot right behind their horns, and nannies did not, but maybe that is wrong?

jackelope · « **Reply #15 on:** June 19, 2010, 09:30:24 PM »

I think the billys have a gland or something that leaves a black mark above their eyes and they're heavier mass. The nannys are spindly horned.

Hard to tell but I think 9" is about right. Falcon may be right though it could be a nanny. It is hard to tell but the horns look pretty thin from that pic.

Weather looks miserable.

elkrack · « **Reply #17 on:** June 20, 2010, 10:11:36 AM »

I think you are all being pretty generous with 9 inches. look at the ears thats the best way to judge them. there ears are typically 4 to fiive inches and those ears are more than half way up the horn. pretty thin horned

tonymoe · « **Reply #18 on:** June 20, 2010, 08:23:28 PM »

not a shooter in my mind. it might be a younger/smaller billie but really hard to tell. It looks like a familiar goat to me? Was it the one above Walupt lake?
