She is suppose to pure Nubian, no papers. And a bad pic, but it is the best I have at this point.

She is suppose to have come from spotted lines.

Here is an pic of the buckling I want to breed her with. He is however full grown, I just don't have a recent pic. Shame on me.... :)

She's pretty. What's her milking history...? Will you be able to see the dam's udder? Any older sisters freshened there?

I love me some spots, but you can't milk them...

Well that is the issue, I will not be able to from the sounds of it. she was purchased to be a pet and they now have no time for her.

It is kind of a crap shoot, but she is only $75.

You can't milk paper. My she is a lovely girl. I like the way she stands. Nice and sturdy.

The boy, kind of hard to tell, but I like his coloring.

she's cute...
How old is she supposed to be?

Have you checked her teats? If so, does she have 2, 3 or does she have 1 or 2 fish(split like a fish tail) teats?

is her back straight and firm, or does she have a swayed back?

Is she polled or is she disbudded?

She looks to have decent pin & thurl spacing (better for birthing)
decent stand, pasterns look firm, hard to tell how her stance is.. (whether she has a good or poor space for an udder)

Have you seen her mother's udder and teats? What do they look like?

HE is a beast, very sturdy. I will get a few new pics of him tomorrow. He is full grown and definitely has his goat on....

She is 5 1/2 months old, I figure she would be ready to breed in the fall.

I have not put my hands on her, my work pretty much uses up all the useable time during the week. I asked for some better side and rear pics.

I feel kind of funny asking a strange person to check the teats. I don't know how well versed she is in goats. The person she got her from raises goats for pets meat and milk.

I suspect she might be a less than perfect subject. BUT you never know.

You could always go to buy & if her teats appear less than ideal point it out to the owner & offer less, like $50 instead of $75.
