Goat Breed???

Can anyone tell me what breed this buckling most likely is? I rescued him. He was at a neighbors house and dogs were going to kill him. So far I haven't been able to find his owner.

The goat he is pictured with is a Full Nigerian who is 5mths old. He is about same height, but weights less and horns are longer. He is the stray from the earlier post. So far I haven't found owner and have tun out of places to look. If I can't find owner I will keep h, but he will have to be banded. At what age do you do that? I have a 7mth old doe who I fo not want breed because she is very small.

As long as the testicles will fit through the band he can be banded. He looks fairly young maybe around 4 or 5 months.

Either Pygmy/Nubian or Nigerian/Nubian.

I'm guessing Mini Nubian or Pygmy/nubian cross too.

I haven't updated here, but he went home. His owner showed up on Fathers Day tickled to death to find him. I ask and his Dame was 1/2 nubian and 1/2 alpine sire was ND.
