So, for all you goat experts out there, is the goat featured in this video a billy or nanny?
What do you think?

Im no expert, but i would say definitely a nanny. Long slender horns with no 'hook' at the back.

I can't say for sure, but I am leaning towards billy. I checked ADFG's pdf on identification and here is what it said:

Female Horns:
*Thin
*Sharp curve near the tip
*Small bases
*Wide distance between bases

Male
Horns:
* Thicker throughout length
* Uniform, gradual curvature
* Larger bases
• Bases
closer together
• Enlarged glands behind bases
Group Size and Composition:
• Often solitary or groups of 2-3
Body Size and Shape:
• Stocky body
• Roman bulge to nose
• Pronounced shoulder hump
• Pronounced pantaloons
Sexual Organs:
*Sometimes organs are visible
Urination Posture:
*Stands stretching

OR

I'm totally a rookie, so this is really hard!
I'm gonna say Billy. The horns aren't super thick, but the bases seem too big. Body looks like a Billy, but maybe she's just buff

Hey guys... new here. Great site! At 8:57 you see him lean forward and piss. When in doubt just wait for the goat to urinate to positively ID it. In this case it's a billy. A nanny would of squatted.

Very interesting to see the different opinions.
I asked because I was unsure.
I have gone back and forth on it.
I initially thought young billy.
Who knows!
I also thought that I was going to go billy when it got up and started to feed.
I thought that it leaned forward to pee. But, I did not actually see it pee. I thought it may just have stretched since it had just got out of its bed.
Tough to say.

A couple more from yesterday.

That was fun to watch.

Young billy. At 9:15 when he walks up the rocks, you can see the curvature of his horns.

I'd have to lean towards billy, based on slwoly curved horns, not hooked. Also dark stains around bases. But I am not sure, its a tough call.
