Thank you all. We are in love with them both already.

Always good to get to know them before naming. Hope they settle in good.

So, you're going to breed this buck to your Saanen/Nubians?
They're 50/50 right?

correct, she is 50/50. we just have the one Saanan/Nubian doe to breed him to. I hope to register the 50/50 doe as grade depending on what her milk production is like. If it is good quality milk and a good amount then I will, but won't waist my time if it's not enough. I am unsure of how it all works yet with registering the mixes but I will be reading more and calling to find out.

You should go ahead and register her either way.
I say that because even if she isn't great, and you get her in the herdbook, maybe your new buck will improve the offspring. Then, you will be one step ahead to having American Nubians.

Thanks! I didn't know if that was something you could do with Nubians. Both mom and baby have nice milking lines according to people around here.

Some more pics of the new goats. Scarlet is an absolute riot to have. Little baby boy is taking some time to warm up to people but he is getting there. They are not used to dogs yet but you can see Scarlet getting more curious of them vs. scared of them.
