What kind of goats do you raise/own?? Or are planning to raise?? Thought this might be interesting..... I own/raise or gonna start soon Nigerian Dwarf, Boer, and Briar
I have mutts Mixtures of Nubian/Pygmy/Fainter/, Kinder/Pygmy/Fainter and a touch of Lamancha.Later I will have Saanen/Fainetr/Pygmy.
Maybe in the future I will do 50/50's with Nubian and Saanen or Nubian and LaMancha..........but for now we are working with what we could afford and what was available at the time within a decent price range and distance...
I breed registered Nigerian Dwarfs for breeding, show, and milking. The wethers are great for beginner 4H shows and pets
Next year I would like to get a Toggenburg or Oberhasli for a little extra milk, and I will also be adding to my Pygmy herd
I've just started my Toggenburg herd, so far I only have one doe who we are A.I.ing to her "soul mate". I'm hoping to get on a waiting list for this one herd, and then I hope my doe gives me some nice doe kids. It's a little hard seems how I'm striving for CAE negative herd of Toggenburgs and not many places test that are near me.
I have and am owned by registered Nigerian Dwarf goats. We are raising bottle babies. 3 does. 4. Months .3 months and two months. Almost done weaning the youngest. Picking up our newest tomorrow and the feeding start again. Love it! A while till we have milk and kids but I'm already shopping for a buck who is standing. Fun!
great I like the fact of raising and selling. I no for sure that I will sell all of my baby bucks. That is of course once the are weaned. There may be a exception though if the buck is down right beautiful and I have to keep him maybe to breed to a unrelated doe. But other wise all of my bucks are for sale. lol I will sell a good many of my baby does to unless like the buck if she is beautiful and I can breed her to another unrelated buck. Hope this makes since lol.
I have all Nigerians! I cut back but eventually I want to have a few alpine (hopefully from lacie @ little bits and pieces farm) & 1 oberhasli with 1 nubian!(;
Is that too specific?
