Those are goats in the UK - Nubians are much different over there and in Australia, and in my opinion, far BETTER looking than the US version. I wish importing was more economically feasible - lol.

I think the women holding them must be short, but they are nice big boys. I've seen some pretty big Nubian bucks. I've also seen a few big does. Saada used to have a doe named Vampress who was a very large goat. She was a champion and people are still willing to pay big bucks for goats with her in the pedigree.

Our little ND's certainly aren't yard ornaments! They'd be happy to pack something for you (especially if you had some animal crackers in your pocket). It'd just need to be a smaller pack... :smiley-laughing013:
