Nanno, I hadn't measured Atticus for a while, so your question prompted me to set off this morning with my measuring stick and tape. Here are a few stats:
Height at withers: 41 inches
Withers to tail: 42.5 inches
Nose circumference: 16 inches
Front hoof circumference (at ground level): 11 inches
Base of horns circumference: 9 inches
Length of horns: 18 inches
He wears a collar that had to be specially made at 27.5 inches. Hoegger couldn't supply a larger harness for driving so I had to get the standard Hoegger one modified locally to have a longer cinch and wider saddle and the driving halter completely re-made in a larger size. Sadly Atticus went lame not long after so I haven't yet had a chance to get him back to the ground driving. But he is on the mend now so I must hook him up. He still appears to be growing.
Koby is 34.5 inches to the withers at 14 months. He is chunkier than Atticus and I think will end up a larger goat at maturity.
