I really like your article on the mini-nubian breeding. My wife and I were kickin around the idea since we have both nigies and nubians and I really like the smaller goats. She asked a question the other day about their milk production.....Do they produce well/much as a dairy goat. And my question is do they have more meat than nigies?
I really do think this is good. I wish I could get a friend of mine to do this with her meat breeds. She is so busy though? Who can tell...I am going to ask though.
Thanks everyone! Jason (aka. Thanatos), since the MiniNubians are smaller than the full size Nubians, they do not produce quite as much milk. Most of my does milk around 5-6 lbs per day. On average, they give more than an average ND and less than an average full size Nubian. Meat wise, it depends on the individual goat. Just like with Nigerians and Nubians there are different body types - some are more meaty and some are more dairy. Since they are larger than the Nigerian they will have more meat simply because they are larger.
