So Christy, have you contacted Dianne at http://www.doubledurangofarm.com/ we've become fairly good friends, by email, since I bought the three does from her. She is very good about answering questions. Her mentor is Rusty Repp at http://www.littletotsestate.com/ he's very experienced and a goat judge. Good luck, can't wait until you get some. We just got our does in Oct and two bucks from http://www.kidscorral.net/ in Dec Because I'm familiar with puppy mills, I didn't want my goats from a goat mill, I respect good breeders whatever the animal.
Thanks for all the answers. I think I like the sound of goat beans the best.
Lisa - I knew someone had done a post of animal poop names but I couldn't remember who it was. I should have known it was you ;).
Joanna - I emailed her awhile back and am on her list to be notified when kids are born. She is only about 20 minutes from me so I've been wanting to go visit her farm. I'll try to set that up soon.
I've managed to learn that rooster is a cockerel, but does & bucks for goats? Those are rabbit terms where I've lived. In England it's nannies & billies for female & male goats & here it's goats & pucs, though goat is generic for both. I think I'm learning that "horse" here is a stallion as opposed to a mare as it confused me greatly when somebody asked if my largest qudrapeds were horses! "Umm of course they're horses, OK, a draught Cob & a Pony, but horse will do ~ oh, I see: no they're both mares..."

We call them goat berries up here in the Northeast.
Happy New Year!
I thought that was what I remembered. I wonder if there are any other terms?
In northern California we also called the berries but some others called them pellets, don't know why.
I've called them berries and nuggets.:)

Around here we cal 'em goat berries or got beans. :D
I did a poop post a while back about the weirdness of animal poop and why it is always given food names?
Did you know that llamas' poo is called Llama Beans? (Get it? lol)

sorry about that. My keyboard had is sticky from a soda spill last year....I meant GOAT BEANS
Pellets is what I've heard. Goat grapes would work 'cause they are about the size of Possum Grapes and Summer Grapes that grow wild.
Happy New Year!

We call the goat berries as well or raisins, LOL.
We go by raisins. :-)
Just for fun, why don't you call them Goat Goobers, since they resemble the candy.

As I googled "goat berries" I saw that they can be put into the garden w/o composting. Love those goats!
