Video Shami Goats: Getting ready to breed

We are preparing to breed our male Shami Goat (again) next month.  This is Cappuccino.  He is about 19 months old and we have already bred him with our Shami doe named Mocha.  


I also wanted you to see his beautiful fur.  The Shami Goats are born with one color and as they get older the fur on their back turns a different color.  Cappuccino's fur changed about 6 months ago from a dark brown (chocolate) to a pretty golden color mixed with white color. Here are a few pictures of him below:

Shami Goats: South Sinai Egypt

Just wanted to share a few pictures of some of our Shami goats here in on Homestead/ Farm in Ain Musa.  One thing I want to point out is the coloring in their fur.  The Shami goat bucks (males) have a great deal of color ranging from white to a sweet golden color mixed in with the natural chocolate color.  The Shami Goat Does do not have much change in color, but you can see the color changes down the middle of this particular does back.

Say hello to Espresso our new Shami Goat (buck) he is 5 months old. 
Take a look Shami goat.  Many people have never even seen let alone heard of a Shami goat.  This is Cappuccino (Shami Buck) about 17 months.  His coat started to change color about  6 months.  He was full chocolate.  The changing of color is normal, especially for the Shami goat bucks.  This particular breed is naturally polled i.e. no hornless.

Below is a picture of Cappuccino's dad.  Man that is one massive Shami Goat Buck.





The 3 Musketeers.  You'll notice that these Shami Goats are still young and have a ways to go before reaching maturity.
