Goats and Minis

Do any of you have your Minis in the same pen/field as your goats? If so, do your goats have horns? Any problems?
Thanks!

Yes, my two miniatures live with my horned goat herd and I have no problems. Of course, I separate them at feed time, though I didn't always and I still didn't have problems other than the minis got more feed than they needed.

I have one Clyde, with my 2 little one's.
He is boss, and lets them know it.
Only problem I have is feeding time.
I have to seperate Clyde from the ponies, he
will run them off their feed. He is very greedy

I had horned goats in with big horses and a 12h donkey, does that count?

No problems here, other than when they were in with the 2 horses, one pushy goat kicking the alpha mare out of her feed. Then the alpha mare kicked out the lesser mare, who in turn went to kick the goat out... Only to have the goat chase down the alpha, the alpha chase the lesser, and the lesser chase the goat... and round and round they went like a mismatched carousel.

You know, it is a miracle any of them actually ate anything back then.
