This is our new little buck, he is 3 months old. I was told he was Nubian, but looking at him I'm not sold on that. He looks like there could be a meat breed in there, or something eles. I need your opinions! Thanks so much.

Can't really tell from the picture, but he looks to me like he might have a little Kiko, or possibly fainter in him. His tail looks fainter. Cannot see his ears that well and face.

Could you get a side profile picture, closer up?

From what I can see with the white and red-brown and his sturdiness, he looks to have some Boer in him.

I uploaded better pics, what do you think now?
I still think he has the Fainter tail. My guess is still a little fainter blood in there someplace.

Looks like a Nubian, or mostly Nubian to me

I also noticed (a little hard to tell in the photos) he appears to have uneven testicles. The left side looks smaller then the right. I would watch them as he grows. They may even off.
What are you breeding for (pet, meat, etc.)? Bad testicles on a buck are known to produce bad udders on does.

He is cute.

I would say mostly nubian, out here, pure nubians are much leaner, so would think some boer or meat goat added in might explain that.

I would say mostly Nubian but he does appear to have some type of meat breed in his genetics.
