Thanks everyone!

I do think she's rather petty myself, but I might be a little bias :love

CarolinaGirls dam is the goat in my avatar as a young doe.

Boots is my favorite. This pic is from the 10th of this month. I took it from a distance and camera phones stink but I like it anyway.
She is out of @Goat Whisperer "Leah" & my "Lil Joe"

Boots is probably my favorite ND doe out of the group as well. Love her elegant look!

One of the two Mini Nubians was bred today! Saffy we just missed. Emmy was not!

Although Emmy & Saffy are f-1 50/50's they really inherited a great deal from their dam Ruby (Purebred Nubian). They have very nice breed characteristic. They both have excellent leg placement, very wide (Emmy more so), a small Roman nose which is not typical for f-1's and very good ears!

Because of that we opted for a stronger traited mini nubian buck and decided that although the girls offspring will still only be f-2's we wanted to maximize on their strengths. We have a Purebred
f-6
55.33% Nubian / 44.67% Nigerian Dwarf G6S Normal.

The buck's breeder and I have a very similar philosophy. We want udders, production over everything else and the whole generational thing is not very relevant when you are breeding for the whole package.

The offspring will be 52 N/48 ND which I REALLY like. I want to keep the breedings as close to 50/50 as possible!

Here is Jack! He is 6 months old!
