Just curious

Is the second goat a purebred Nubian?

maybe... (not overly high quality.. lacking a lot in breed character)... but most look to be at least carry nubian blood.. (the white goat standing alone doesn't look overly nubian to me.. thick headed, bad ears..squatty looking.. short legs..steep rump.. hairy.. (BUT.. that's about what I would expect a $150 **NUBIAN** to look like.. rarely will you find a nice nubian doe for that price)


susie, mo ozarks

I am still learning to tell one breed from another. I have never seen a Nubian before that was that hairy though, in pictures or in person. The coloration isn't really what I would expect either. But, like I say, I am still learning.

Heh, I wasn't thinking of buying.

If you mean the one with the horns, might be but as was said, a real poor example. Actually, just going by the pics, none of them get me too excited as far as potential milkers but it could be the pics are poor.

I've found most peoples "milk records" are a little optimistic at best.
