OK lets set the record straight .... hermaphrodites are a very rare occurrence .... secondly it only occurs when a doe ( female ) is bred to a buck ( male ) and BOTH have the polled gene. Polled is recessive genetic trait .... even when this occurs ( recessive to recessive ) odds are still low. I have had and bred goats of many breeds for longer then I care to think about and have never had even one happen.... this covers 100's of births with many polled to polled breeding. I have owned and bred every thing from Pygmy to Alpine.... Nigerians to Nubian and most in between. This is not breed specific ......

Uh, well, um, Pete, are you going to wether him? Because he's possibly hemaphraditic. Polled and hermaphrodite go together.
