Does the breeder have a nigerian buck on the property, or did she have when this doe was conceived?

No buck at all. They said they sold him after he did his job that year.

Those kids in the cl ad may be Boer crosses... it would help to see a side shot.... she could just be cream and white and be marked similarly to a Boer.

As for your doe, I would bet that coccidia prevention would've done her wonders. When you got her, she wasn't in a body condition that I would like to see on a young animal, as well. She wasn't horrible, but if you want good growth you've gotta feed them for it.
