well, the plan was to have our Reg Nigerian buckling (He was born in Dec) breed two of our doe's in Nov but he is too small and not acting like a buck yet at all!! I thought for sure he'd be more buck like by now but nope... I could always breed the two doe's to our other nigerian buck Gizmo but....Ive seen sooo many Gizmo kids & I really want some more blood from deferent stock (Incase I wanna retain a doeling) so I REALLY dont wanna breed them with Gizmo...so I have to get another FULL GROWN buck that can breed in Nov.....He would only stay till I know the girls (Casper & Scarlett) would be bred, then we would 1, eat em or sell him. So yeah my Nov breeding plans for those two have been thrown way off (unless I can find a buck in time!).

Ive found a buck within two hours from here....he's not very impressive I know, bad rump.... I do however love his colors & he is from pretty good milking lines..Hes not reg but is full-blooded (Dads reg & moms not)..... I really want these two to be bred by someone other then Gizmo. it does not matter to me if he is Reg or not. I just want Nigerian..

they say he has a big moonspot on his left hip, in the last pic you can see something that looks like maybe one but idk?

I don't quite like his rump either... otherwise, idk, how much are they asking? Are you sure you want to settle for unregistered, as you'll be selling or keeping the kids!

I think it was $140? ill have to look again. yes it doesn't mater if he is or is not Reg. A lot of people around here don't like reg....they say "Its too pricy for me!" or they have no interest in Reg stock....a lot of what people raise around here is "Barn-yard mixes". I don't have any Reg females at the moment so it doesn't mater lol

Oh I see I suppose it doesn't matter if your girls aren't registered! That's not a bad price, at least not where I'm from...

His rump looks so odd in the first and last pic but somewhat normal in the middle one... idk maybe it's the lighting and photos!

You mean wait to get one till I know if the other person is getting him or not? If so, that's what im doing but, i am looking in the mean time to see if I find another that I like better then him and honestly, the person will most likely get him so yeah..

I want to breed two of my Nigerians "Scarlett & Casper" in Nov. I also want to breed my Nubian/Boer doe in Nov too. Then in March/2022 I want to breed the rest of my girls.

Well you could hold off about a month and keep looking, put a iso add out on Craigslist or Facebook (I have multiple goat groups idk if you do)

I don't have FB lol.... Ive thought about putting a ad on CL but I think I might check with a friend who happens to be the very man we got Wally from if I don't see anything that I like on CL. He has two very outstandingly beautiful bucks that I think he would lend me one of, and they are ADGA reg.

@K.B. my doe Casper id love to keep a doeling from and sell her. She is a very good milker & has the sweetest personality but she's just not something I think I want to keep forever, she gets bullied a lot and does not stand up for herself and it makes me feel so bad for her..

Here is her udder. im hoping to find a buck with a good milk line to breed to her so I can keep her doeling as a milker better then herself. I just hope she has a girl LOL

yes I know its not a Great udder

You should look for a buck with a dam that has really nice and smooth fore and great rear udder attachments to breed to her. If you can't get that info, look for a buck that has a really high escutcheon.
