I bought Fancy and two kids (sadly one died) the towards the end of December.
She was SUPER skinny (sides touching almost), had bad hooves, knees cracked like nothing Ive heard before, an inflamed dry teat, dull dry fur, and a huge fear of every thing.
They lady I got her from had tons of goats and was real nice, so I dont think she came from an abusive home... just maybe was low on the totem pole and under cared for.

Since Ive had her Ive worked her hooves almost back to normal, her knees aren't creaking nearly as bad (Im thinking it was hoof related), her teat is almost back to normal, shes slowly putting weight on, her fur is finally coming in thicker and softer, and her fear of everything is slowly diminishing.

I just love her :love




Anyways the lady called her 'The Nubian'. Obviously not full blooded.
I was just wondering what yall thought she might be mixed with...
And any guesses on age? I know by her teeth shes over 5 but there isnt much wear on them

I would say there is definitely some Kiko in there somewhere. She sure is marked pretty. This is a picture of my Nubian/Kiko doe Brandy

She was bred to a boar/kiko mix.
The other little twin was a black and white baby

I think she has something in her that has given her those short ears. Boer/nubian/kiko would have longer ears. And her horns stick up too straight and pointy to be just that.

When I first looked at her I thought she had some alpine in her.

I think she has heavy dairy influence

I can see the boer in the kid, longer ears, thicker back. If mom has any boer or kiko in her, it isn't much. See how fast just from one generation their ears get longer?
