Out of curiosity, how is the conformation on my Nigerian Dwarf doe?
She is not currently being milked, and this year was her first freshening.
I am aware she does have horns, which is a breed fault.
I really like her topline and back end. I don’t have NDs, and I’m not super experienced with critiquing conformation yet... but do her front legs seem a bit forward to anyone else?
Personally I like the horns. And the “snot.” ☺
Overall I think she’s quite lovely! What’s her name?
Her name is Twix
I took her to a small-scale local show recently and I was rather pleased with how it went. The judge agreed with much of what you mentioned @Dandy Hill Farm , he really liked her dairy qualities.
I would like to see more depth to her, and she doesn't have much of a brisket.
She just didn't place well since the other goat was a senior Saanen with the better udder- but I'm really happy with how she did; she did great and I won showmanship with her.
Is her rump really that steep? I find it more level than most of my other goats.
Love her name! 💙
That's great!! Congratulations!! 😁
IMO her rump angle definitely isn't bad at all (I have seen a lot worse), but the ideal angle is nearly level. So, I would prefer it to be just a bit more level, but no goat is perfect and she really is a NICE doe!! 🥰
