Intact adult males commonly weigh twice as much as adult females of the same/similar breed. Toggs are generally a shorter, stockier breed than Saanens so the size discrepancy would be even more apparent.

Ahahhh so much for me to learn about goats. Yes, the size difference was substantial. Hope with good nutrition and care they will grow nice and big. I can tell I won't feel lonely on hikes again, they just love standing or laying next to me and getting scratches.
