Broadcasting 24-7: Debi’s mini Saanen goats, Nick and Molly, born May 8, 2009.
The camera has night vision to catch after-dark antics and a remote pan head, so if you don’t see Nick and Molly, wait a bit and the camera will find them.
I had no idea there was such a thing as a mini-Saanen… Do you have any stats on thier milk production? HOw do they compare to the regular sized Saanens?
cheers,

We’ll have to kick this one to Debbie on the mini-Saanen goat milk stats. Are you interested in raising them?
Excellent!I’d put a “goat Cam” in my barn, but somebody would probably molest it. If it wasn’t a goat, then the cats would do something to it.
I would too but I’m SURE one of mine would eat the thing. If they can turn on light switches, chew on the panel wires and disconnect pipe tape, a camera would just be fun and games.
Did a search for myself and found your link. Thanks for that! The mini Saanen is a cross between a Saanen and a Nigerian dwarf. We’ve not bred Molly yet so I can’t tell you about the milk taste. Yes, the goats have eaten two cameras this past year. We finally had to move the camera out of the pen. We’re adding a second camera in their stall in the next couple of weeks.
We love your goat cam!
Just thought I’d leave an update. A few weeks ago, we had to euthanize our beloved wether, Nick. He developed calculi, despite our careful prevention. The vet said we had done everything possible to prevent it and after he got sick, to cure him. He was born with a very narrow urethra and the vet said she’d never seen a buckling with that small a urethra make it past the first year. She said surgery would not have helped. Because of our care, Nick lived to be 2 1/2 years old. We have had condolences from all over the world and a Japanese tech site even put up an obituary for Nick! He touched so many lives. We will miss him terribly.
But, as you all may know, you can’t have just one goat. Our breeder GAVE us Nick and Molly’s half-sister, Joy-Joy! Joy-Joy is 2 months older than Molly and quite a bit smaller. She was raised by her goat mother and had never been away from her, so she was a bit shy at first. Now she seems to be all settled in and she and Molly are getting along great!
We now have 4 cameras, 2 in the pen, including a swivel headed camera, one in their house(with the wires and all on the outside), and one next to their feeding station, or as we call it, the salad bar.
We hope you will stop in to watch our girls from time to time. We have devoted viewers from around the globe. Even my primary care physician has started telling his hypertension patients to watch them at least 5 minutes a day!
