Hi guys..ok my son went out and weighed our goats with the weigh tapes. I am going to list them, along with their breed and ages I was just curious if this is a normal size for goats these ages. I don't know..they seem small to me. They are far from starving, they get fed twice per day (goat chow formula from a vet) they also get all the hay they want in the winter, and of course the loose minerals and salt licks. What do you think??

5 month old boer/spanish cross doe - 35 lbs
11 month old Lamancha pure bred doe - 60 lbs
11 month old boer pure bred buck - 72 lbs
4-1/2 month old boer/spanish cross buck - 60 lbs
11 month old boer pure bred buck - 60 lbs
5 month old boer/spanish cross doe - 33 lbs
approx 11 month old, brush (not 100% sure of what breed she is mixed w/) doe - 27 lbs
approx 11 month old maybe spanish/kiko cross - 52 lbs
