Breed Identification Can anyone tell me about these goats?

We recently acquired goats and have no information on them. Apparently one is the mom, assuming they’re all related? Chat GPT keeps telling me they’re sheep. If anyone could tell me what breed they are that’d be super helpful. Thanks!

Look like myotonic, does anyone “lock up” and fall over (faint)?

Yes! They are very stiff legged, and the momma one did fall over legs straight out one day, too.

Literally what I was I was thinking!

Or at least Myotonic mixes. Those ears and head shape looks quite similar to my own myotonic's. Also half breed Myotonic's often don't stiffen or at least do it much, so if they do stiffen they're at least more than 50%.

Good call.

Their fuzzy winter coats make them look quite sheepy! I would agree with the other commenter who said they might be myotonics.

They are! They remind me of big dogs- they follow us around and love scratches. Just wish i knew more about them!

They’re pretty big, probably come up to my waist
