It seems like only yesterday that I brought Pete and Reggie, my two Nigerian Dwarf baby goats, home:
And, really, it was just in May but look at how tiny little Pete was back then:
Now, at only five months old, look what's sprouting on Pete's chin:
Judging from the looks of Pete's daddy, Sugar Creek MT Tell Me More (aka "Telly"):
....Pete is going to be sporting one fine looking beard in no time:
I like beards.

Niiice!!!
Is beard length and fullness influenced by testosterone? (or the lack of it?)
That has to be the cutest beard I've ever seen....and I've seen a few beards in my time.
In general, I prefer mustaches to beards, but since it's your baby Pete, I'll keep an open mind...
pete sure looks like he loves his mama! pete's goat-tee is looking good too!
It's a goatee!!
I'm partial to facial hair too. He is so darn handsome.
I had just gotten used to one grandson with a beard.....
So Reggie doesn't believe in facial hair? Or all the good, nourishing protein in his yummy food must be going to his girth?
I am so jealous. I keep trying to grow a beard, but I just can't seem to get it done correctly. Well, I guess some have it and some don't.
Uh, isn't Pete a wether? It depends on wether or not he is as to how big a beard he'll likely get. It won't be as fantastic as his daddy's but still quite handsome I'm sure. ;-)
It's so cute! Oh sigh - I need goats!
And I love goatees, too. My husband has one and it's so handsome! :)
Hi Sarah - yes, I do believe that a certain amount of beard growth can be attributed to testosterone in a goat, but with that said, I have also seen some female goats, does, with some pretty impressive beards, too! lol. Pete's a wether, so his growth will likely be much less, um, bushy, than his Pa's, but it's still clear he's got the beard "gene". :-)
Hi Zitrone - I had thought about posting a pic of Reggie in this post to show his definite LACK of beard growth, but decided to keep it about Pete. Reggie has no sign of anything - maybe his little beard is yet to come, but those two boys are as different as night and day!
Hello Rural Writer - yes, Pete's a wether and I agree with you - it's unlikely that Pete's beard will ever be as MAGNIFICENT as his dad's, but it would seem Pete did still acquire a bit of the hairy-gene from his dad, don't you think? :-)
Awww.... he is so handsome. I don't think Alpines have beards do they? I hope Edward gets a beard. He will be so handsome too. His ears make my heart melt.

and yet I find another blogger with goats, it all started over at (This Goats Life) blog... I have followed the comment trail to find several other bloggers with goats, farm life :O)... what a nice find :O)...
Ah, what a sweet baby, ah teenager, ah young man. Love the goat-tee. Petey's dad is one good looking stud!
I love goat beards! I trimmed the girls' when I trimmed their udders, but they look so distinguished with them! I begged hubby to grow a goat-tee so signify being a civilitan, and it looks good too ;)
ps, glad you had a great trip. :)
Oh I love a beard too when it is attached to something as gorgeous as your little man.
Hmmmm? Been thinking long and hard bout getting a couple of little goats!
Sigh....Little Pete is growing up. I just dont know if Im ready for all that yet. I think, tho, no matter how old he is...he will still have a thing for hats!
Well, seeings how Reggie sometimes can push little Pete around ...I think him growing a beard is just what he needs.
You show him, Pete. You may not be growing a little buddha belly, but a beard is equally as nice.
2 handsome little guys is what they are!
The mini-beard is handsome, but his perfect little goat chin is even better. Are goat lips as soft as they look?
How cute! Looks like he wants to top off his new look with a nice hat!!
He sure is growing up! (i like beards too! ;)
Ohhh kids are going up so fast now a days...he is going to be beautiful! Kim
it's more of a soul patch, really.
:)
Why do our babies have to grow up!!!
soul patch...hahaha
goatee...heh heh
They grow up so fast! Now, my Toggenburg does have little beards and they look rather funny.
Ah you have a nice farm there! I am so glad you stopped by my blog. Now I have new awesome blog to follow!
Really cute goats too!
