Going to the dark side.....a little lol

I have bred my Obers with my Nubian buck and they were some really nice looking little does by dairy standards. I thought about registering them as experimental since they were so nice but the girl that bought them just wanted home milkers. Their ears weren’t nearly as pendulous as I thought they would be either.

 

Congrats on your new additions! They’re pretty girls.

 

Those are some pretty doelings!

 

Oh, Alpines, my very favorite breed of goat. I so love them, my original herd were all Alpines with a Nubian and Lamancha thrown in later on. And I don't have any now. Sigh

I did get a few Boers to add to my dairy herd, I used the buck on the Alpines and Nubians as well as the Boer does. The kids grew like weeds and did great at the shows. My Alpine/Boer wether won champion wether against Boer wethers his age!

 

Tall Pines, the color on your Obie/Nubian kids is amazing! What color was the sire?

 

Thank you. We actually repeated the breeding this year because the does were so nice. I’m plus my Ober buck is too young to breed. Hopefully next year.

 

He’s got a very similar coloring to the Sundgau minus the facial stripes. He’s honestly kind of a wonky buck IMO but throws some nice kids so I keep him around lol.

 

So, now I’m curious, what makes him wonky? He looks great to me!

 

I'd love crosses like that someday!

 

He has SUPER long legs which I think makes him look wonky to me since the majority of my goats are NDs. His front end assembly is nice and he’s flat of bone but I’d like to see a stronger brisket and some more width on him. Chine is a little weak IMO as well.
I wish all my goats had pasterns like him though.

 

If you ever find yourself in NorCal we’re here

 

Congratulations! Cuties!
