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.

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.

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?
