What breed/s?
We have an oddball in our goat group.
We got her for nothing when we bought some Boers last yr.
She was born January, 2007.
The people that gave her to us, got her for free when they had bought a bunch of Boer goats.

We have no clue what breed/s she may be.

She is as tall and long as my Boer doe's of the same age, 1.4 yrs, she is just narrower.

Any Ideas?

She is the one in the pic standing up, not the Boer thats laying down.

An alpine cross is my guess.

alpine-boer. Her head shape looks so much like the boer in front of her.

half pygmy? I usually only see that roaning / augotti coloring in the pygmy breed. Her ears go airplane though, so other half maybe boer or nubian.

the markings reminded me of an alpine mix, and the airplane ears suggest nubian or boer back somwhere....hmmmm. Mixes are tricky!!!
