Any Ideas On What Breed She Might Be?

[sadie6447]

My daughter purchased a doe from the sale barn awhile back but we dont know what she is... dairy possibly?

Alpine (?)

She is cute; not that I know that much about goats, since i am new to goats but she looks like she might have some boer in her.

Maybe Alpine? Hmm, wonder why she was at the sale barn. She's awfully pretty.

Ears a longer then normal Alpine ears. I would say she has some % of nubian history in her. Horns say dairy not Boer/meat to me.

Whitetail??? (that's how much I know)

[goatkid]

She looks like she's part Alpine and possibly part Nubian.

My guess would be Boer/Alpine. I don't see any Nubian, her ears would be longer. I have several Boer/Alpine that have the same look about them.

Sh's got some Nubian or Kiko back there becasue her ears are longer than a Swiss goats' ears, but a dairy/kiko cross looks like this- a little meatier/wider across the shoulders and loin, slightly longer ears, horns just like this that sweep back a bit, with a finer bone structure of a milk goat but no less usefull as a dairy animal! (A dairy/kiko cross usually has a nice enough udder to hold a fair amount of milk.)

I was thinking the same thing. She's a pretty girl

I am taking it like it is safe to say she is an alpine cross. I have no idea why she was at the sale barn. She was around 3-4 months when my daughter bought her. She just had to have her because she was sucking on her fingers. My daughter said that was a sign that we had to take her home and now we would not give her up she is so sweet. I think she is bred but not sure. She should be but who knows. The bad news is if she is I will have alot of questions because I have no idea about dairy goats so be prepared!! Thanks everyone for giving me an idea on what she is.
