Can you keep Boer and Kinder does together?

Hi. I have someone who wants to buy my 4 year old Kinder doe. They currently raise Boers, so I am assuming they can either put her with all of their does or pick one or two of their does to pen with her. But I will make sure before they actually get her--I don't want her alone. I assume it's o.k. to keep Boer and Kinder does together? Sorry....I know not one thing about Boers.

If they don't have another doe for her, I have a yearling Alpine Nubian cross I would be willing to sell them cheap, just so she would have a buddy. I bought this cross a year ago as a 3 month old for $65. I have no paperwork on her what-so-ever. Just an assurance that her mother milked well. So what's she worth now as a dry yearling? I am trying to breed her, but am not having much luck. How much would selling her as bred increase her value? Like I said, I'd let her go cheap so they could get my Kinder and not have her be alone---but I don't know what to ask, really, for a companion cross.

Thanks,
Dee

My Boer bucks are in with other bucks, pygmies, ND, lamancha, had an alpine.

My Boer doe's are with other does, boer mix, Pyg, ND, and of all ages.
I also have horned and polled in that mix.

I only had one goat I couldnt keep with almost anyone, a ND/pyg cross.
Meanest doe I had ever seen. She even beat up our Jacob ram.

We're having her for supper tomorrow.
