Hm-- In the new photos the top one looks very plausibly boer/alpine.
The second - well, i just can't get past those fantastic wattles!

I had a Boer/Oberhasli who had wattles. She continually threw one kid with wattles and one without. I think they are cute.

1/4 Boer, I could easily believe. Our 1/4 Boer kids are meatier than a straight dairy kid and grow faster but aren't as meaty as a 50% Boer kid.
They probably have swiss in there due to the airplane ears.
The second kid in the first photo looks like Fiona, our 1/2 Saanen, 1/4 Boer, 1/4 LaMancha/Alpine doe. Length of ears especially.

Fiona as a kid. She's due with her first kids (5/8 Boer,1/4 Saanen, 1/8 Lamancha/Alpine) tomorrow.

About wonder if that first doe has Kiko in her, but I have a 1/2 Boer wether than has similar markings but a little bit more body. He's also 1/8 Pygmy.

They definitely aren't Boer/Nubian, however. There is Swiss or Pygmy in there somewhere.
