New Baby Today!

So far only a single kid, but she looks like there might be another one. She has a perfectly beautiful pure black kid. I forgot to check if it's a doeling or a buckling. LOL

I forgot to post the picture. I still haven't checked to find out if it's a he or she, but whichever, it's a cute little ND kid. The doe is mostly white with some brown on the front 1/2 of her body. The buck is white w/ a bit of brown. I'm scratching my head wondering where the black came from.

That mama looks like a Boer goat. When you cross Boers with other breeds, it's not too unusual for the babies to have black on them. Was the sire a black ND?

Cute kid. He/She will probably be stunning when it grows up.

She's got markings that have a Boer look, but she's small, nowhere near Boer size. The doe and buck are both ND's.
