Title: Eastside Goats
Post by: Sawbuck on August 23, 2009, 12:50:08 PM: Here are some pics from one of the eastside units. Sorry for the pic quality hopefully Obama will do a cash for crap cameras program next. I'm no goat expert but the one in the distance looked to be a pretty decent billy, never got closer for a better pic, but through the scope he looked larger than the rest in the group. I was wondering what the goat in the last pic was, nannie or billy? I took the quiz that Shane put a link up for, but still keep going back and forth between a young billy, or nannie. What do you guys think?

I'd want to see a side profile but for the length of horn...those bases are just not very big at all.

There have been times I've waited until they urinated before making the call.
